Dr. Anil Kamboj was shot after entering the clinic of Moga district on July 4. His condition still remains critical. Dr. Kamboj is the father of Punjabi film actress Tania. This attack, which took place in broad daylight, has spread panic and anger in the area.
On Sunday, Punjab Health Minister Dr. Balbir Singh visited the victim's family and described the incident as condemnable. He said that the accused had come posing as patients, and such an attack on a doctor is extremely shameful. The government is completely serious about the safety of doctors, and strict steps will be taken soon.
According to the information, two youths entered Dr. Anil Kamboj's clinic at Kot Ise Khan as patients on July 4. After talking for some time, he suddenly took out his revolver and started firing rapidly. After firing about five bullets, both the attackers fled from the spot.
Seriously injured, Dr. Kamboj was immediately taken to the hospital, where his treatment is ongoing and his condition remains critical.
According to local sources, Dr. Kamboj was earlier given security, but that security was withdrawn some time ago. When Minister Dr. Balbir Singh was asked about this, he said, We will investigate this entire matter in depth as to why the security was removed.
The minister clarified that the culprits would be identified soon. The accused has taken this step by posing as a patient. Police will arrest him soon. He said, We want to give such a message that after being caught, they will be given such punishment that no one can dare to do this in the future.
