Security tightened in Indore for Diljit Dosanjh concert after bomb threat
Police are conducting intensive checks at the venue following a threat email sent to the Madhya Pradesh High Court.
Madhya Pradesh Police have intensified security measures at the C21 Estate Ground in Indore ahead of Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh’s concert on November 15. According to ANI, the alert follows a bomb threat that has prompted officials to scrutinise all event arrangements.
The Gwalior bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court reportedly received a bomb threat email via its official website. City Superintendent of Police Robin Jain told reporters that the email threatened to blow up the Gwalior High Court building and mentioned the singer's concert and certain organisations.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Ashish Patel said police are verifying the list of approximately 717 volunteers, including bouncers and guards, provided by the organiser, BookMyShow. Patel noted that officials are reviewing fire safety, traffic management, and the safety of women at the venue.
Earlier threats were sent on November 2 to the Indore mayor's office and three private schools. According to Times Now, those emails warned against students attending the event, though no explosives were found during inspections.
Diljit Dosanjh addressed the rumours during an Instagram Live session on Tuesday, stating he is
101 per cent
coming to Indore. He confirmed the performance will proceed as planned despite the security concerns.
