Two men entered a clinic in Moga on Friday and opened fire at a doctor, leaving him severely injured.

The incident took place around 1 pm at Harbans Nursing Home in Kot-Ishe-Khan town. The clinic was located just 100 metres from the local police station.

According to eyewitnesses, the two men posed as patients and fired multiple rounds at Dr Aniljeet Kamboj.

The doctor sustained two bullet injuries and was rushed to a private hospital in Moga, where he is currently on a ventilator and in critical condition.

Preliminary investigation suggested that Kamboj had previously received extortion threats. The attackers reportedly fled the scene on foot.

Moga SSP Ajay Gandhi reached the incident spot. “We have formed multiple teams to investigate the matter and the culprits will be arrested soon,” he assured.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
