Gunfire outside Diljit Dosanjh manager’s residence: Lawrence Bishnoi gang claims responsibility

Unidentified assailants fired outside the residence of Diljit Dosanjh’s manager, Gurpartap Kang, in Gonder village, Haryana, triggering a security scare. Police have begun an investigation to determine the attackers and motive and are reviewing security arrangements around the residence. A social-media post attributed to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility, naming individuals and alleging the weapon used were 'Austria-made'. The post described the firing as a warning rather than an extortion attempt and claimed a member associated with Dosanjh’s team had mistreated several women, including a Punjab-based woman harassed during a tour in Australia. The gang described this as the third warning, said it was showing restraint due to Dosanjh’s international representation, and warned of more serious action if demands were ignored. It also threatened to expose the accused and supporters. Police have not officially confirmed the attackers’ identity as of the report; the investigation is ongoing.

On May 11, 2026, Diljit Dosanjh addressed the Punjab politics controversy via Instagram Stories, saying protests outside venues are allowed but harassing fans inside will not be tolerated. He noted banners or flags can signal support, but misuse to abuse fans is not acceptable. Separately, during a Canada tour stop, security was instructed to remove protesters displaying pro-Khalistani flags from the venue.
