  Both the ATLAS and CMS collaborations have recently observed an excess in the
di-photon invariant mass distribution in the vicinity of 750 GeV with a local
significance of $\sim3\sigma$. In this article we try to investigate this
excess in the context of a minimal simplified framework assuming effective
interactions of the hinted resonance with photons and gluons. We scrutinise the
consistency of this observation with possible accompanying yet hitherto unseen
signatures of this resonance. Subsequently, we try to probe the nature of new
particles, e.g., spin, electric charge and number of colour, etc., that could
remain instrumental to explain this excess through loop-mediation.
