On Friday morning, Sandeep, accompanied by his gunman, attended the death anniversary ceremony of Ravinder Arora, president of Samvedna Trust which operates the Civil Hospital.
Four unidentified men dressed in nihang attire attacked Sandeep Thapar, alias Gora, 58, outside the Ludhiana civil hospital, just a week after authorities had reduced his security cover.
Police stated that the four accused attacked Thapar with swords and then fled. His sole gunman did not intervene to protect him or attempt to chase the attackers.
