Vancouver: A shooting incident was reported outside Punjabi singer AP Dhillon's house in Canada's Vancouver on Sunday night. Although several videos of the firing went viral on social media, Canadian authorities are currently investigating the truth behind the firing incident. The firing incident came amid a surge in gang war violence in Canada.
The video claimed that shootings occurred at two locations on the night of September 1: Victoria Island and Woodbridge in Toronto. According to preliminary reports, the gang led by Goldy Brar, a prominent member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, is involved. Brar, whose real name is Satinder Singh Brar, is known for his role in the murder of singer Sidhu Moosewala. He is based in Canada. He relocated to Brampton in 2017 on a student visa and is also linked to the terrorist organisation Babbar Khalsa International.
In addition, a video circulating on social media makes two other claims. It features an individual named Rohit Godara, who takes responsibility for recent shootings.
According to the video, "Firing incidents took place at both Victoria Island and Woodbridge Toronto. I, Rohit Godara from the Lawrence Bishnoi Gang, claim responsibility for these incidents.” India TV cannot independently confirm the veracity of the video.
