Toronto: Popular Punjabi singer Teji Kahlon was critically injured in a targeted shooting incident in Canada, according to early reports. The attack, believed to be premeditated, has sparked widespread concern within the Punjabi music community and among diaspora circles abroad.
Kahlon, who is known for his rising presence in the Punjabi music scene, was reportedly shot at close range outside a private residence. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he remains under intensive care. Sources say the artist sustained multiple injuries but is currently stable.
Soon after the incident, a chilling social media post surfaced, allegedly authored by three individuals claiming affiliation with the Rohit Godara gang.

The motive behind the attack is still under investigation, though authorities suspect it may be linked to extortion threats or personal enmity, common tactics employed by organized criminal networks targeting high-profile figures from the entertainment industry.
This is not the first time Punjabi artists have been targeted overseas. In recent years, several singers and influencers have received threats linked to gang activities rooted in Punjab and operating internationally.
