A drive-by shooting targeting a car linked to Punjabi singer Ammy Virk occurred in Abbotsford, Canada, shortly after his concert at Rogers Forum on Saturday night. No one was injured in the incident. The Abbotsford Police Department confirmed the shooting and stated that the occupants of a dark-colored SUV were responsible for opening fire on a vehicle traveling through the 2500-block of McCallum Road.

Approximately five kilometers away, an SUV was found burning in the 2400-block of Sunnyside Place following a report of a vehicle fire. Police are investigating whether the two incidents are related. Local Indo-Canadian media reported that the targeted vehicle was part of the convoy accompanying Virk's concert and speculated that he and the show's promoter may have been inside.

However, the police have not identified any occupants or confirmed Virk's presence, citing privacy concerns. The vehicle was reportedly a Rolls-Royce, according to some reports. The police have not yet identified any occupants or publicly confirmed Virk's presence. The shooting occurred during the Canadian leg of Virk's 2026 Unity Tour, and days earlier, a disturbance involving audience members was reported at his Toronto concert. No arrests have been made, and investigators are still looking into the motive behind the shooting.
