Punjabi singer and actor Gippy Grewal has once again spoken about the horrific shooting incident outside his residence in White Rock, Canada, saying he was left completely confused as he did not receive any threats or warning calls before the attack.While appearing on Shekhar Suman’s chat show Shekhar Toneet, Gibby reflected on the incident and revealed that he initially had no idea why his house was targeted.“When the shooting happened outside my house, I honestly didn’t know why it happened. I never received any contact. No one threatened me. Later, a post appeared explaining why they did it,” he said.The incident dates back to November 2023, when shots were fired outside Grewal’s home in White Rock, near Vancouver. Following the attack, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi claimed responsibility through a social media post, calling it a “warning” linked to Gibby’s perceived association with Bollywood star Salman Khan. No injuries were reported in the accident.
“I wasn’t even close.” Salman He betrayed’
Addressing the motive stated by the gang, Gibby clarified that he did not have any close personal relationship with Salman Khan.“The truth is that I met Salman Sayed only a few times while promoting films
Big Boss
And during the trailer launch. We didn’t even have a close friendship. But they assumed otherwise, which led to the accident.”After the shooting, the Bishnoi gang allegedly issued a statement claiming that it was a warning and that Punjabi celebrities should avoid association with Salman Khan.
Similar threats directed at Salman Khan prompted the Mumbai Police to review and enhance the actor’s security arrangements at that time.
Investigation and blackmail angle
While the social media post linked the attack to Salman Khan, some law enforcement officials later suggested that the shooting may also be part of a broader extortion strategy allegedly being used by the Bishnoi gang against prominent singers and artistes.The incident has sent shockwaves through the Punjabi entertainment industry, with several artistes expressing concern over the growing trend of threats and intimidation targeting celebrities. Despite the frightening experience, Gibby said he was stunned because he had never been involved in any controversy that would have made him expect such an attack.
