Sidhu MooseWala's Close Aid Shot At By Gunmen: A shocking incident has been reported involving gunmen who allegedly fired shots at Punjabi musician Bunty Bains while he was in Mohali on Tuesday. The incident occurred at a roadside restaurant in Punjab's Mohali during the afternoon. Bunty Bains had shared photos of himself dining at the same restaurant just hours before the incident took place.

Bains, known for his close association with the late Sidhu MooseWala and his significant role in shaping the rapper-singer's career, was the target of this unfortunate event.

Bunty Bains Receives Extortion Call

According to a report by India Today, soon after the incident, Bunty Bains took action by filing a complaint with the police. Fortunately, he was unharmed during the ordeal. In an interview with a news portal, the musician revealed that he had been receiving intimidating phone calls demanding Rs 1 crore in extortion money, a demand he refused to comply with. Allegedly, these threats came from Lucky Patial, a notorious gangster believed to be operating out of Canada.

For the unversed, Patial is known to have connections with Lawrence Bishnoi, the gangster suspected of orchestrating the tragic death of Bains' close friend, Sidhu MooseWala, in 2022. The police are actively investigating the shooting incident.
