He was rushed to a private hospital in Moga and is currently in critical condition.
Gunmen Pose As Patients
According to Punjab Mania, eyewitnesses reported that two men arrived on a motorcycle and entered Harbans Nursing Home, where Dr. Kamboj was attending to patients. Posing as patients themselves, the assailants allegedly engaged him in conversation before opening fire.
Planned Attack on Doctor
Superintendent of Police (Moga) said, "The assailants came with a plan. They approached Dr. Kamboj posing as patients, then fired at close range. We're investigating all possible angles, including extortion threats."

CCTV Footage Under Review
The police have sealed off the nursing home, restricting access while the forensic teams collect evidence from the scene. Authorities are also examining CCTV footage from nearby areas to trace the movements of the suspects and identify them.
