Canadian police have arrested 25-year-old Abjeet Kingra in connection with the shooting at the residence of singer AP Dhillon in British Columbia. On September 10, 30, 2024, shots were fired into Dhillon’s home in Colwood, and two parked cars were set on fire. Authorities believe another suspect, 23-year-old Vikram Sharma, has fled to India.
Details of the arrest
Kingra, a native of Winnipeg, faces charges of “Discharge of a Firearm with Intent and Arson”. He was arrested in Ontario and is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
Ongoing Investigation
A warrant has been issued for Sharma, who is wanted on the same charges. Police suspected he may be in India now. Without a photo of Sharma, his identity was released to the public and anyone with information on his whereabouts was urged to contact the West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264.
Background of the Incident
The shooting has been linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi-Rohit Godara gang that allegedly carried out the attack. The threats against AP Dhillon came after the release of his music video “Old Money” featuring Bollywood star Salman Khan, with whom the gang is reportedly at loggerheads, telling Dhillon to “stay within his limits, or he will meet a ‘dog’s death.”
