Shooter was on student visa when Bishnoi gang hired him to threaten Punjabi musician AP Dhillon

Judge said Abjeet Kingra will likely be deported to India after serving 6-year sentence for 2024 attack.

A 25-year-old hired to terrorize Punjabi singer AP Dhillon at the behest of the Bishnoi gang came to Canada four years ago on a student visa, according to court records obtained by CBC News.

But the judge who sentenced Abjeet Kingra last month for a violent September 2024 attack on the musician’s B.C. home said the accused struggled in school and the Canadian employment market, and in doing so failed to meet [his] family’s financial needs back home, thus taking on this contract.
