A video has emerged purportedly showing several rounds being fired at Punjabi singer AP Dhillon's house in Canada. It also shows two vehicles set on fire during the September 2 incident in Vancouver. The singer, who lives on Victoria Island in Vancouver, was not injured in the shooting.

The notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which is being probed for the high-profile murders of Sidhu Moose Wala and Baba Siddique, had then claimed they carried out the firing since the singer featured actor Salman Khan in a music video.

The video of the firing - which resembled the 'Call of Duty' gameplay - appeared to be shot by the gunman as he emptied his magazine.
