Bomb threat email targets Gwalior court and references Diljit Dosanjh concert

Bomb threat email targets Gwalior court and references Diljit Dosanjh concert

A threat email sent to the Madhya Pradesh High Court’s Gwalior bench warned of a bomb explosion and referred to singer Diljit Dosanjh’s concert in Indore.

The concert is scheduled for November 15, and police say the message also named locations in Indore, Gwalior and Bhopal.

Police have tightened security and are tracing the email’s sender, while teams in the three cities investigate.

The threat follows earlier emails to three Indore schools and the mayor’s office; searches of the schools found no explosives.

Dosanjh says he will perform in Indore as planned, despite speculation about cancellation.

The threats have also led authorities to bar four of his songs from the concert setlist over concerns about references to alcohol, drugs and violence.
