Kang was left injured in a pool of blood. He was later shifted the hospital for treatment. Reports said that a team of police was later rushed to the spot and launched a manhunt to nab the assailants. Police is also examining the CCTV footage to zero in on the car used in the attack and nab the attackers. However, no arrests were made at the time this report was filed.

Kang is considered to be a big name in the Kabaddi circuit both in Canada where he is settled for two decades now as well as India back home. Pertinently, the attack on Kang in Canada comes three days after Jalandhar Police arrested an accused in connection with the murder of Punjab's international Kabaddi player Sandeep Singh Nangal Ambian back home in India.

The accused identified as Surjanjit Singh Chatha was arrested on Wednesday night in the case and taken into custody. It can be recalled that Ambian was shot dead by unidentified attackers during a kabaddi match at Malian village of Jalandhar on Mar. 14 last year. Sandeep's wife Rupinder Kaur had later taken to social media appealing police to arrest the assailants in the case.
