In a deeply disturbing turn of events, Anil Jit Singh Kamboj, the father of acclaimed Punjabi actress Tania, was critically injured after being shot multiple times by two unidentified assailants at his private clinic in Kot Ise Khan, a small town in Punjab’s Moga district. The attack occurred in broad daylight on July 4, 2025, sending shockwaves across the state and raising fresh concerns over law and order in the region.
According to police sources, the 55-year-old Kamboj, a well-respected social worker and alternative medicine practitioner, was attending to patients at his clinic when two masked men arrived on a motorbike. Without warning, the duo opened fire, hitting him several times in the chest and abdomen before fleeing the scene. Eyewitnesses say the attackers did not rob the premises, leading investigators to suspect the attack was premeditated and targeted rather than a case of random violence or extortion.
He was rushed to a private hospital in Moga and later shifted to Ludhiana due to the severity of his injuries. Doctors describe his condition as “critical but stable” and have placed him under 24-hour observation. The family has remained largely tight-lipped about the incident, while actress Tania—visibly shaken—released a short statement via her media team requesting privacy and prayers for her father’s recovery.
“My father is a kind and upright man who dedicated his life to the welfare of others. We’re devastated by this senseless act. Please respect our family’s need for privacy during this difficult time,” the statement read.
Tania, a rising star in the Punjabi film industry, is known for her roles in films such as Sufna and Lekh. She enjoys a massive fan following not just in Punjab, but among the Punjabi diaspora across Canada, the UK, and Australia. The brutal attack on her father has elicited an outpouring of support from both the film fraternity and political circles. Many actors, including Ammy Virk, Sonam Bajwa, and Gurnam Bhullar, took to social media to condemn the incident and wish Kamboj a speedy recovery.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann also responded swiftly, expressing grave concern over the deteriorating law and order situation. “The safety of every citizen is non-negotiable. I have directed the DGP to ensure the swift arrest of the culprits. No one involved in this heinous act will be spared,” he said in a statement.
The Punjab Police have registered a case under IPC Sections 307 (attempt to murder) and 120B (criminal conspiracy), and CCTV footage from surrounding areas is being analyzed to track down the assailants. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has also been formed under the Moga SSP to probe possible motives, including political enmity, professional rivalry, or local disputes.
The attack comes amid a growing narrative around rising crime in smaller towns of Punjab, where local influencers, business owners, and even artists have increasingly been the targets of violence and extortion. Last year, popular singer Sidhu Moosewala was gunned down in a high-profile case that sparked outrage across the nation and highlighted the growing presence of gangland activity in Punjab.
While it’s too early to link the shooting of Tania’s father to any criminal syndicate, investigators are not ruling out the possibility. The public, meanwhile, has reacted with shock and anger, calling for stricter security measures, faster investigations, and a safer environment for both ordinary citizens and public figures.
As the investigation unfolds, the people of Punjab—and indeed the entire nation—are keeping a hopeful eye on the recovery of Anil Jit Singh Kamboj and awaiting justice for a family that never expected violence to reach their doorstep.
