Dr. Vishal, a physician at the hospital, provided details of the attack: “Lucky Oberoi was brought here around 8 am. On examination, it was found that 8-9 rounds were fired at him. Some bullets had hit his chest, and one had hit his chin. He was given CPR and also put on a ventilator, but his life could not be saved,” he said.

The incident has drawn condemnation from political leaders. Congress MP Dharamvira Gandhi criticized the state government, saying, “Murder of sports persons, killing of Sidhu Moosewala, threats and gangsters are prevalent in Punjab. Punjab is becoming like Bihar now. The state government is not paying attention to this, and anarchy is prevalent. For a border state, this is not good. The state government should see why Punjab is becoming like Bihar?”
