Diljit Dosanjh's Indore concert: Madhya Pradesh HC's Gwalior bench receives bomb threat email referring to singer's event; cops say, 'Police are on alert, and security has been strengthened' 

The Gwalior bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court has received an email threatening a bomb explosion, with a reference to singer Diljit Dosanjh’s concert in Indore on 15 November, police said on Tuesday.

Security around the court has been tightened as investigators work to find the sender.

What the threat email said

According to the PTI report, the email was sent to the High Court’s website. It warned that the Gwalior High Court building would be blown up and also carried threatening remarks about the concert and certain organisations, City Superintendent of Police Robin Jain told reporters.“Police are on alert, and security at the High Court premises has been strengthened.

Police in Indore and Bhopal are also assisting us,” Robin Jain said.He added that police teams are probing where the email came from and trying to identify the person behind it.

Earlier threats over the concert

This is not the first such threat linked to the event. Three schools and the Indore mayor's office had earlier received similar warnings. The schools were cautioned against sending students to the concert. Police searched the school premises and found no explosives, a senior official said.

Diljit Dosanjh says the show will go on

Despite the threats, Diljit Dosanjh said on Tuesday that the concert would certainly take place. He went live on Instagram, where a fan asked him about the Indore concert.The singer responded, “We are coming to Indore on 15 November. There has been a lot of news. A lot of channels had fun with it; they added a lot of masala, spices and relished showing the news. No matter what they say, I am coming to Indore on the 15th. First we will eat poha, 101 per cent and then, with that energy, we will rock the show.

You don’t need to worry or listen to any reports."

Four songs barred from the setlist

The concert has also made headlines after four of Dosanjh’s popular songs were barred from being performed. These are ‘Patiala Peg’, ‘5 Tara Theke’, ‘Jeb Vicho Feem’ and ‘Jatt Fire Karda’. Authorities raised concerns that their alleged promotion of alcohol and violence could affect children and others in the audience.
