Punjabi singer shot at in Canada, gangster’s aides claim responsibility
The New Indian Express Sambalpur
|October 23, 2025
PUNJABI singer Teji Kahlon was shot at in Canada and associates of gangster Rohit Godara claimed responsibility for the attack.
In a social media post, Godara’s aides identifying them as Mahender Saran Di-Jana, Rahul Rinau and Vicky Phalwan claimed that Kahlon was targeted for supplying arms and money to rival gangs and acting as their informant. “We carried out the shooting in Canada at Teji Kahlon. He was shot in the stomach. If he understands, fine. If not, next time we will finish him,” the threatening post read.
The Canadian authorities concerned have launched an investigation but have yet to officially confirm the attackers’ claims or the motive. The incident appears to be a targeted attack linked to an ongoing cross-border gang rivalry.
