Moga, 4 July

In a brazen broad daylight attack, Dr Aniljeet Kamboj — father of renowned Punjabi actress Tania  was critically injured after being shot inside his clinic in Kot Ise Khan, Moga, on Friday.

According to eyewitnesses, two unidentified men entered Harbans Nursing Home, located just 100 metres from the local police station, posing as patients. They fired two bullets into Dr Kamboj’s back before fleeing the scene. He was rushed to a private hospital in Moga, where he is on ventilator in critical condition.

Preliminary inquiries reveal that Dr Kamboj had received extortion threats two years ago and was assigned police protection, which was later withdrawn as no further threats were reported. The attack occurred around 1pm at the town’s main intersection, confirmed Moga SSP Ajay Gandhi, who said multiple investigation teams had been deployed and assured the culprits would be nabbed soon.

As the incident drew widespread attention, actress Tania took to Instagram with an emotional plea, urging the media and public to respect her family’s privacy and refrain from speculation. Meanwhile, the probe is underway, with mounting focus on possible security lapses and an intensified manhunt for the unidentified assailants.
