Fresh Bomb Threat Targets Madhya Pradesh High Court Ahead Of Diljit Dosanjh’s Indore Concert
The security concerns surrounding Diljit Dosanjh’s upcoming Indore concert have taken another turn, with the Madhya Pradesh High Court’s Gwalior bench receiving a bomb threat ahead of the singer’s November 15 performance. The threatening email, sent to the court’s official website, reportedly warned of an attack on the building while also carrying references to Dosanjh’s concert.
Police have since stepped up security at the High Court premises as investigators work to establish the source of the email and identify its sender. City Superintendent of Police Robin Jain confirmed that security arrangements had been strengthened, with police teams in Indore and Bhopal also assisting with the probe.
"Police are on alert and security at the High Court premises has been strengthened. Police in Indore and Bhopal are also assisting us," Jain told reporters.

According to an NDTV report, preliminary investigations suggested that the email’s IP address was associated with a foreign network. However, authorities are yet to determine its actual location. Security has also reportedly been increased around the residences of judges following the threat.
The latest incident comes days after similar threatening emails were received by three schools and the Indore Mayor’s office. Those messages reportedly warned of bomb blasts and also cautioned the schools against allowing students to attend Dosanjh’s concert. Police subsequently carried out searches at the locations but found no explosives.
Despite the repeated threats, Dosanjh has indicated that there are no plans to postpone his Indore performance. Addressing the situation in a video message shared on social media on November 7, the singer confirmed that he would arrive in the city as scheduled.
In his characteristic style, Dosanjh also made a light-hearted reference to Indore’s famous poha while reassuring fans that he intended to go ahead with the show.
"I will visit Indore on November 15. I will have poha first after visiting Indore. Anyone can say anything, but I will meet you in Indore on November 15. I have heard in the news that there will be some danger. But we know how to handle this. Do they know who we are?" he said.
The concert has also been in the news for reasons beyond the security concerns. Four of Dosanjh’s songs, including "Patiala Peg", "5 Tara Theke", "Jeb Vicho Feem" and "Jatt Fire Karda", have reportedly been prohibited from being performed at the event. The restrictions were imposed over concerns that their lyrics promote alcohol consumption and violence, potentially influencing children and other young audience members.
Dosanjh kicked off the Indian leg of his Aura Tour with a performance at Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on October 30. However, his November 15 Indore concert has increasingly become the focus of attention, with multiple threats prompting security agencies to remain on alert. Investigations into the latest email are ongoing.
