Chandigarh: A special investigation team (SIT) was set up to probe the attack on a senior Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) leader and former senior Army official in Punjab's Jalandhar city late on Saturday.
Punjab RSS vice-president Brig Jagdish Gagneja (retired) was critically injured after being shot at near the busy Jyoti Chowk in Jalandhar, about 150 km from Chandigarh.
Mr Gagneja was rushed to a hospital with three bullet injuries. Doctors said two bullets were removed from his body and that he was stable.
The assailants fled from the spot after firing. They also fired in the air to scare people.
The police is strengthening security around offices of right-wing organisations in Punjab. Some leaders of the RSS and Shiv Sena have already been provided security.
In two separate incidents, unidentified persons fired shots at Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) activists in Ludhiana city earlier this year.
