According to reports, a man named Rohit Godara, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, took responsibility for the incident.
In November 2023, Gunshots were fired outside Punjabi singer and actor Gippy Grewal's residence in the White Rock neighborhood of Vancouver, Canada. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the orchestrated attack. The group, notorious for criminal activities, declared its involvement through a Facebook post, citing Grewal's proximity to Bollywood actor Salman Khan as the reason for the assault.
The post read, "While you may regard Salman Khan as a brother, it is now imperative for your 'brother' to step in and rescue you. This message extends to Salman Khan as well - do not harbour the illusion that Dawood or anyone can save you from us. Your impassioned reaction to the demise of Sidhu Moose Wala did not escape our notice. We are well aware of the kind of person he was and the illicit connections he maintained."
Meanwhile, Prem Dhillon is yet to release an official statement regarding the incident.
