"a questionable individual was in the background of videos"
Karan Aujla has issued a statement over the claims that he is associated with Lawrence Bishnoi.
This comes after two videos circulated on social media.
The videos were taken from a wedding reception in Bakersfield, California.
Karan was seen performing next to fugitive Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of gangster Lawrence.
Another video shows Anmol, seen in a checkered shirt, next to Punjabi singer Sharry Mann.

Anmol is wanted in connection with the murder of Sidhu Moose Wala, who was shot dead in May 2022.
Investigating officers said that Anmol is a conspirator and fled India using a fake passport a few months before the murder.
The chargesheet stated that he was part of the conspiracy since the start and arranged support before leaving the country.
Despite being a wanted man, Anmol seems to be roaming around freely in the United States.
The videos have led to claims that Karan and Sharry are associated with the Bishnoi crime group.
One said: “Links are clear. These singers are close to criminals and need to be interrogated.”
Another said: “Karan Aujla and Sharry Mann both were singing with their arms over Anmol Bishnoi’s shoulders a few times.
“He remained in front of their eyes for at least an hour.”
Karan Aujla has now issued a statement on the matter, claiming that he was unaware that the man was Anmol Bishnoi.
In an Instagram Story, he wrote: “I didn’t think I needed to but after seeing so many posts and messages, I just want to clarify about an event on Sunday in Bakersfield, CA.
“As an artiste, myself and Sharry Maan bhai were booked to perform for a reception show as requested by our common friend.
“As an artist, we are not aware who is attending or invited to the wedding shows we are booked for, hence why I prefer not to do many wedding shows at all.
“It has been brought to my attention that a questionable individual was in the background of videos of me and Sharry bhai performing.
“I was not aware of whom that may be until I saw these posts and messages.
“As an artiste, I focus on my performance and leave the shows, I don’t notice each and every person as there are many people around.
“I would also like to state, there were many cameras and phones constantly recording, and usually are where I am.
“I would never knowingly attend or associate myself with anything as such.
“Please, as a humble request, don’t involve me in these things.
“As an artiste, you are already going through many things as you all know now, and it would be a humble request not to complicate things more. Hope this clarifies the matter.”
Apart from #KaranAujla, Punjabi singer #SharryMann was also spotted performing in front of #LawrenceBishnoi's fugitive brother Anmol Bishnoi, who is an accused in #SidhuMooseWala murder.

Sharry Mann also issued a statement, which read:
“As an artiste, I am asked to perform at venues for a wide range of different types of people.
“Recently, I had also performed in Bakersfield, California, alongside Karan Aujla.”
“My team who handles my bookings don’t always have an opportunity to check or enquire too much about who is booking me and what their family dynamics or even social reputations are.
“We simply ask what songs, duration of the performance and if a live band is needed.
“At the end of the day, this is a business and just like any other business we simply deliver to the clients.
“I hope you understand there are always a lot of fingers ready to be pointed at artistes like myself in this industry and I have accepted that years ago.”
