(Web Desk) - Police in Canada are investigating a shooting outside Punjabi singer Chani Nattan’s home after the Lawrence Bishnoi gang allegedly claimed responsibility for the attack.
Officers said a social media post from an account named Goldy Dhillon, believed to be a close aide of Bishnoi, took credit for the incident.
According to the alleged post, Chani was targeted over his growing closeness with fellow singer Sardar Khehra.
The alleged post read: “The reason for the shooting at singer Chani Nattan’s house is Sardar Khehra.
“Any singer who works with or has any connection with Sardar Khehra in the future will be responsible for their own losses, because we will continue to inflict significant damage (harm) on Sardar Khehra. “We have no personal enmity with Chani Nattan.”
Police said they are verifying the authenticity of the post. A 15-second video circulating on social media captured multiple gunshots fired at a house during the night.
Officers confirmed that shots were fired outside Chani Nattan’s home, though it is not known if anyone was inside at the time.
Born in Surrey, Canada, Chani Nattan gained recognition for his lyrical storytelling and collaborations with other artists.
His songs often mix traditional Punjabi sounds with contemporary beats, resonating with Punjabi youth in both India and Canada.
Over the years, he has become a prominent figure in the Punjabi diaspora music industry, frequently working with producers and singers from Punjab while staying based in Canada.
