As per reports, Gagneja was shifted to DMC Heart Institute from Patel Hospital in Jalandhar on 7 August, a day after two unidentified motorcycle-borne assailants had shot at him there.

Brig Gagneja had joined the RSS after retiring from the Army in 2004 and kept a low profile. The attack against him was extensively probed by Punjab Police with DGP Suresh Arora also visiting the crime spot.
