The Canadian Police have arrested an Indian man and issued warrant against another for their alleged involvement in firing outside Punjab singer AP Dhillon’s house in Vancouver.
The police informed that on October 30, 2024, police arrested 25-year-old Abjeet Kingra of Winnipeg charged in connection with recklessly discharging a firearm into a residence as well as setting fire to two vehicles in the 3300 block of Ravenwood Road, Colwood on September 2, 2024. “On that date, police located two vehicles on fire and evidence that multiple shots had been fired at, and into, a residence. An occupant of the residence was evacuated by police and Colwood Fire Department extinguished the vehicle fires,” said the statement.
While the West Shore RCMP did not confirm it to be Dhillon’s home, a video showed a person firing 14 shots into the front windows and garage of home believed to be of Dhillon, while a black truck and a smaller vehicle burned.
Dhillon took to social media following reports of a shooting. “In a short message posted to Instagram, Dhillon says, “I’m safe. My people are safe. Thank you to everyone who reached out.”
Kingra has been charged with Discharge of a Firearm with Intent and Arson. Abjeet Kingra was arrested in Ontario.
Also an arrest warrant has been issued for 23-year-old Vikram Sharma who is last known to be residing in Winnipeg. Police believe that Vikram Sharma is currently in India. Vikram Sharma is wanted on an Unendorsed warrant for discharge of a Firearm with Intent and arson. Police do not have any photo of Vikram Sharma, but described him as a South Asian male, 5 feet 9-inch-tall, with black hair and brown eyes.
“West Shore RCMP officers have been working diligently through this investigation which has led to the identification of the suspects involved. We will continue to pursue this investigation as well as the outstanding suspect until they have been located and arrested,” said Superintendent Todd Preston, officer in charge of West Shore Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Anyone with additional information on the whereabouts of Vikram Sharma is asked to call the West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264. As this investigation is ongoing and before the courts, no further information will be released at this time.
