"My work is to remove the laser from the following image and return the same image without the laser."

Once removal the laser spots, what would be remaining on that region, like black, white or fill with simmilar pattern (Little challenging last one, as samples data are is quite less)

Black

rgbImage=imread('laser_image.png');
grayImage=rgb2gray(rgbImage);
mask=bwareafilt(grayImage>170,1);
%Change the threshod value ^ as per requirennets 
%% Folloing lines code just for maksing RGB Image 
r_data=rgbImage(:,:,1);
g_data=rgbImage(:,:,2);
b_data=rgbImage(:,:,3);
r_data(mask)=0;
g_data(mask)=0;
b_data(mask)=0;
result_image=cat(3,r_data,g_data,b_data)

Above, last 7 lines you can avoid, by doing another masking approach, please refer the below link

figure,imshow(result_image);
