Security agencies in Madhya Pradesh are on high alert after a fresh bomb threat was sent to the Gwalior Bench of the High Court regarding Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh's upcoming concert.

The Threat

The threatening email was sent to the official email ID of the High Court, warning of blasts at the singer's concert and other locations across Indore, Gwalior, and Bhopal. Dosanjh is scheduled to perform on November 15 at the C-21 Ground in Indore as part of his Aura Tour. The message specifically warned that an improvised explosive device might be planted at the concert stage. Police departments in all three cities are now investigating the communication.

Earlier Incidents

This latest warning comes about a week after three private schools and Indore Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava's office received similar emails on November 2. Those earlier messages were written in Punjabi and warned school management not to send students to the concert. Police teams previously deployed Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad units to inspect those locations, while treating the earlier messages as possible hoaxes.

Investigation and Reaction

Police headquarters DSP Robin Jain confirmed that the High Court email also mentioned other organisations and locations. Investigators are tracking the digital trail and examining technical details, with preliminary findings suggesting the IP address connects to a foreign network. Despite the threats, Diljit Dosanjh reassured fans during an Instagram Live session on Tuesday, confirming that he will travel to Indore and perform as planned.

Context

Bomb threats sent via email to public institutions and high-profile events are frequently traced by cybercrime units using digital and IP footprints to identify culprits. Security forces routinely step up checks at venues and courts whenever such warnings are received, even when initial assessments point toward a hoax.
