A threatening email sent to the Gwalior Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, warning of a bomb at Diljit Dosanjh’s November 15 concert in Indore, has put police in three cities on alert. It is the second round of threats linked to the Punjabi singer’s concert in just over a week.
The email reportedly claimed that an improvised explosive device (IED) would be planted on the stage at Indore’s C-21 Ground, where Dosanjh is scheduled to perform as part of his Aura Tour. It also named several institutions, individuals and locations in Indore, Gwalior and Bhopal. Police in all three cities are investigating the threats. Security has also been tightened around the Gwalior High Court premises and the homes of judges.
Robin Jain, DSP at Police Headquarters, confirmed the email to The Indian Express. “This email was received on the official website of the High Court, which contained a threatening message regarding pop singer Diljit’s upcoming programme in Indore, along with some remarks and the names of a few other organisations,” he said.
Jain added that police in Bhopal and Indore were also investigating because the email mentioned locations in both cities.
A separate team is tracing the sender and the origin of the email, while security at the locations named in the message is being reviewed.
