When he reached Jawaharke at 5:30 pm, two other cars intercepted and blocked his SUV. Around 30 rounds were fired during the incident, which also injured two other men. Moosewala fired back at the attackers using his gun.

He was among the 424 people whose police security was reduced or entirely removed a day before, in preparation for the anniversary of Operation Blue Star, leaving him with two commandos instead of the earlier four.
