The father of Punjabi actress Tania, Anil Jit Singh Kamboj, was critically injured after being shot by two unidentified men at his clinic in Kot Ise Khan, Moga district, Punjab on Friday afternoon. The incident has sparked widespread concern and prompted a police investigation.
According to eyewitnesses, the two assailants arrived at Harbans Nursing Home on a motorcycle and entered the clinic posing as patients seeking medical treatment. They reportedly engaged Dr. Kamboj in conversation before suddenly opening fire, hitting him twice. Dr. Kamboj was immediately rushed to a private hospital in Moga, where he is currently in critical condition and fighting for his life.
Following the shooting, Tania's team released a statement on social media, requesting privacy during this difficult time. The statement read, "On behalf of Tania and family, we want to share that this is an extremely critical and emotional time for her and her family. We kindly request the media to respect their privacy and give them the space they need to process this. We urge everyone to be sensitive and refrain from speculation or creating stories around the situation. Thank you for your understanding and support".
Police have launched a thorough investigation into the incident. The Moga police sealed off the nursing home, and forensic teams are collecting evidence from the scene. Authorities are also examining CCTV footage from nearby areas to identify the suspects and trace their movements. Several police checkpoints have been set up across Moga to aid in the search.
Superintendent of Police (Moga) stated that the assailants appeared to have planned the attack meticulously, approaching Dr. Kamboj posing as patients before firing at close range. Police sources indicated that Dr. Kamboj had been receiving threats prior to the shooting, although no formal report was filed. Investigators are exploring all possible angles, including potential extortion links.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the Punjabi film industry and the local community. Tania is a well-known actress, recognized for her roles in Punjabi movies such as "Bajre Da Sitta", "Sufna", "Rabb Da Radio 2", "Guddiyan Patole", and "Oye Makhna".
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to apprehend the culprits and determine the motive behind the attack. The focus remains on Dr. Kamboj's condition and providing support to Tania and her family during this challenging time.
