AP Dhillon, Drake, Salman Khan: SHOCKING gunfireincidentsoutside celebrity homes

The fabulous life of the rich and famous often comes with a price. In recent months, the security of celebrities has become a growing concern. A series of shocking gunfire incidents erupting outside celebrity homes have kept police officials on their toes trying to ascertain the cause of the shooting and nab those involved in gang-related violence. Whether it is AP Dhillon's home in Canada or Salman Khan's home in Mumbai, these gang-related attacks have left fans and authorities alarmed. Here’s a look at some of the most recent and terrifying cases involving stars like Drake, Gippy Grewal, and even Kangana Ranaut.

The most recent and alarming incident occurred at the Vancouver home of popular singer AP Dhillon. On September 1, an unknown assailant opened fire outside his residence, sending shockwaves through the community. The attack was later claimed by Rohit Godara of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, a notorious criminal group with a history of targeting celebrities. In a chilling social media post, he took responsibility for the attack, and claimed that it was a warning for Dhillon over his recent collaboration with Salman Khan. The post also warned the singer to "stay within your limits."

Drake, one of the world’s most famous rappers, has faced similar scares over the years. The rapper's security guard was left in critical condition after being shot outside the $100 million mansion in Toronto mansion during a drive-by shooting. The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning in the posh Bridle Path neighbourhood. The security guard was found with life-threatening injuries outside the gates of the property and was immediately transported to the hospital.

In India, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has been the target of multiple threats over the years. The most notable came from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, the same group responsible for the recent attack on AP Dhillon. In 2022, Bishnoi openly declared his intention to kill Khan, claiming the actor was involved in the blackbuck poaching case, which had deep religious significance for the Bishnoi community. Despite Khan's security being significantly increased since then, two men opened fire outside his Bandra house early this year, giving way to a major investigation that led to the arrest of over 15 people. The case is ongoing.

Before the attack on AP Dhillon, another Punjabi singer, Gippy Grewal, faced a similar threat. In June 2023, gunfire erupted outside Grewal’s home in Vancouver, with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang again claiming responsibility. The gang, in a social media post, linked the attack to Grewal’s perceived connections with Salman Khan, threatening that anyone associated with the actor, would face similar consequences.

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is no stranger to controversy. Known for her outspoken nature, Ranaut has often been in the news for speaking her mind even if it almost always leads to her receiving threats from fringe outfits and even mobsters. In 2020, the actress reported hearing gunshots outside her home in Manali. The local police swiftly patrolled the area, but later went on record to say that there was 'no evidence' of firing at the spot.
