Indian-based Punjabi singer Prem Dhillon was targeted in a shooting at his home in Canada. In the past, many Punjabi singers have faced similar threats from gangsters. For instance, singer Karan Aujla also encountered such incidents at his Vancouver residence. The responsibility for this attack has been claimed by Jaipal Bhullar’s gang.
Many Punjabi singers have openly spoken about receiving threats to their lives or their family members in exchange for money, often in the name of protection. Today, Punjabi singers are seen as rockstars—they have fame, wealth, and status.
Prem Dhillon was introduced to the music industry by Sidhu Moosewala through the song Boot Cut. Since then, he has delivered multiple hits, including All Aces, Silicone, and Majha Block.
Additionally, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi claimed responsibility for a gunfire incident at Canadian musician Gippy Grewal’s home in November 2023. The alleged attack occurred in Vancouver’s White Rock neighborhood.
