Security Agencies Assess Threat to Amitabh Bachchan After Diljit Dosanjh Interaction
Singer Diljit Dosanjh appeared on Amitabh Bachchan's game show, KBC.
During the show, Diljit touched Amitabh's feet as a sign of respect.
A group called Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) got angry about this.
They accused Diljit of disrespecting people hurt in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots by showing respect to Amitabh.
Because of this, security agencies are now watching to make sure Amitabh Bachchan is safe.
SFJ has also reportedly threatened Diljit Dosanjh before a concert.
The episode with Diljit is set to be shown on TV soon.
Security agencies are assessing a potential threat to Amitabh Bachchan after his interaction with Diljit Dosanjh on KBC 17.
The threat assessment is reportedly linked to SFJ's condemnation of Diljit Dosanjh touching Bachchan's feet on the show.

Sikhs for Justice has reportedly issued a threat to Diljit Dosanjh ahead of his concert in Melbourne.
