Gang Threat Tied to AP Dhillon’s Connection with Salman Khan
In an alarming twist, the Lawrence Bishnoi-Rohit Godara gang has reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack, citing AP Dhillon’s alleged connections with Bollywood actor Salman Khan, with whom the gang has longstanding animosities. Following Dhillon’s release of the music video “Old Money,” which features Khan, the gang issued a public threat against Dhillon, warning him to “stay within his limits or face severe consequences.” The investigation continues amid heightened concerns for the artist’s safety.
