Who Is AP Dhillon?
The 31-year-old musician, whose real name is Amritpal Singh Dhillon, moved from Gurdaspur to Canada in 2015 for his post-graduation course in Business Administration and Management. He is known for his songs like "Brown Munde", "Excuses" and "Summer High".
Salman Khan Connection?
The firing incident at Dhillon's residence was reported weeks after Dhillon featured with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in the music video of his song "Old Money". A purported post from Rohit Godara, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, had claimed responsibility for the incident.
Shots were also fired outside Khan's Mumbai apartment in April and the actor has told police that he believes the Lawrence Bishnoi gang was responsible for the same.
