news desk – Unidentified assailants opened fire at the ancestral house of Punjabi singer Gulab Sidhu in Barnala, Punjab. The singer was abroad at the time of the incident. The police is investigating the case.
A case of indiscriminate firing has come to light at the ancestral house of famous Punjabi singer Gulab Sidhu in Farwahi village of Barnala district of Punjab. Between 1:30 and 2 am on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday, three youths riding a bike fired 7 to 8 rounds at the gate of his house. It is a matter of relief that no member of the family was injured in the attack.
Video of the attack surfaced
CCTV and mobile video of the firing incident has also surfaced. In the video, three youths riding a bike are seen stopping near Gulab Sidhu's house. The young man sitting in the middle of the bike loads the pistol and starts firing at the gate, while the other young man sitting behind is also seen opening fire.
During this time, the third youth driving the bike kept recording the entire incident from his mobile. After the firing, the three accused fled from the spot.
Gulab Sidhu was abroad at the time of the incident
At the time of the incident, Gulab Sidhu was present abroad in connection with his musical shows and live programs. After the incident, an alleged audio message has also surfaced, in which gangster Donny Bal has confessed to firing bullets at Gulab Sidhu's house. However, police and local media are investigating the authenticity of this audio.
Gulab Sidhu was one of the close friends of late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala. After the murder of Moosewala, Gulab Sidhu was allegedly receiving death threats and ransom calls. Based on security input, Punjab Police has already provided him two security personnel.
The attack plot also failed in January
This is not the first time that Gulab Sidhu has been the target of criminals. Earlier, on January 10, 2026, Barnala police had arrested three accused who were planning to attack the singer.
In that case, Sarpanch of Kotduna village Baljinder Singh alias Kinda was said to be the main conspirator. The allegation was that he was angry with the lyrics of Gulab Sidhu's song 'Sarpanchiyan' and wanted to spread terror in the area by attacking the singer during the live show, so that a huge ransom could be recovered later.
As soon as information about the incident was received, Sadar police station reached the spot and sealed the area. Police are checking the CCTV cameras installed at the entry and exit points of the village as well as on the main roads.
The forensic team has collected empty cartridges and other evidence from the spot. Police say that the accused will be identified soon and strict legal action will be taken against them.
