‘Old Money’ Music Video and AP Dhillon House Firing: Is There a Link?

The timing of the shooting is intriguing, given that Salman Khan made a recent cameo in Dhillon's new music video, released on August 9. This connection adds another layer of concern, as the Bishnoi gang has previously been linked to acts of violence. Bishnoi, currently imprisoned, had earlier claimed responsibility for firing outside Salman Khan’s residence earlier this year.
