A social media post allegedly linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed a firing incident outside the residence of Punjabi actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh's manager in Haryana's Karnal. The Haryana Police, however, on Wednesday (May 13, 2026) said it has not received any complaint from the manager, Gurpartap Singh Kang, or his family. "There is no information from the family side," Karnal Superintendent of Police Narendra Bijarniya said. A police team visited Kang's village, Gonder in Karnal, and as per preliminary investigation, nothing was recovered from the spot, the officer said. In a social media post, Bishnoi's aides, Tyson Bishnoi, Arzoo Bishnoi and Hari Boxer, purportedly took the responsibility for the alleged firing incident outside Kang's house in Gonder village. Meanwhile, Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema alleged that a few days ago, the BJP had asked Mr. Dosanjh to join the party, but he refused. Thereafter, Dosanjh's manager was "attacked", and its responsibility was taken by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, he alleged. "It shows that the BJP is trying to scare celebrities and businessmen by using gangsters. Its anti-Punjab face has been exposed," Mr. Cheema said. Earlier on X, the minister said, "The timeline is crystal clear for everyone to witness. BJP tells @diljitdosanjh to join them, which he publicly refuses. Days later, the Bishnoi gang attacks his manager's house to send a 'message.'"

Mr. Cheema accused the BJP of obstructing every path to justice when it comes to Bishnoi. "And what does the BJP government do? It blocks every serious attempt to interrogate Lawrence Bishnoi, keeps him protected in Gujarat and treats him like a state asset instead of a criminal," he alleged. "This is not law and order. This is the weaponisation of gangsters to intimidate Punjabis who refuse to bend before the BJP. A cowardly, vindictive and deeply Anti-Punjab mindset is on full display. Punjab will not be bullied into silence," the minister added. Published - May 13, 2026 11:25 pm IST
