The incident occurred just weeks after Dhillon appeared alongside Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in the music video for his song 'Old Money.' In the track's video, he shared screen space with Salman.

As per media reports, a claimed post by Rohit Godara, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, has taken responsibility for the incident and also issued death threats to the singer.

AP Dhillon rose to fame with the chart-topping hit 'Brown Munde' (2020). His other popular songs include 'Excuses', 'With You', 'Toxic', 'Tere Te', 'Spaceship', 'Insane' and 'True Stories'.

Firing at Salman Khan's residence

Two men on a bike opened fire outside Salman's residence in Mumbai's Bandra. The subsequent arrests revealed connections to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, leading the Mumbai Police to invoke the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against all involved in the shooting.

On June 4, a four-member team, including an officer from the Mumbai Crime Branch, visited Khan's house to record statements from Khan and his brother Arbaaz. Both brothers were questioned for six hours in total.

The probe revealed that Salman Khan was at home on the day of the firing and had slept late after attending a party. In his statement, the actor recounted that the sound of a bullet which hit his flat's balcony woke him up.

"I went to the balcony to check and looked outside but did not see anyone," Salman said.

Six men have been arrested in Salman Khan's firing case so far.
