Police in Madhya Pradesh deployed stepped-up security cordons around the High Court and judicial residences after an email threatened to blow up the stage at singer Diljit Dosanjh's upcoming November 15 concert in Indore.
Security sweeps began immediately. Gwalior Police Chief Sutkeerti Somvanshi confirmed receipt of the threat at the High Court's Gwalior bench, placing regional units on high alert. Forensic cyber analysts tracing the transmission discovered that the sender routed the email through an IP address linked to a foreign network, prompting investigators to mobilize overseas tracking protocols to identify the operator.
The threat comes in the middle of Dosanjh's multi-city Indian tour. The singer launched his Aura Tour on October 30 before a capacity crowd at New Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, triggering a string of digital threats across multiple states. On November 2, electronic threats targeted three private schools and the Indore mayor's office, followed by similar alerts directed at the Gujarat High Court, the Chief Minister's Office, and the Bombay High Court. Investigators initially flagged those earlier transmissions as hoaxes. They are taking no chances now.
Dosanjh brushed aside the disruption during a public appearance on November 7, confirming he would reach Indore as scheduled. "I will visit Indore on November 15. I will have poha first after visiting Indore. Anyone can say anything, but I will meet you in Indore on November 15. I have heard in the news that there will be some danger. But we know how to handle this. Do they know who we are?" Dosanjh said.
The Punjabi artist has repeatedly faced intimidation from overseas extremist elements. During a performance in Calgary, Canada, in May, Dosanjh halted his show to confront individuals waving separatist flags in the crowd, ordering them to clear out of the auditorium. An intelligence assessment from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service previously noted that Canada-based extremist factions exploit institutional networks abroad to generate funding diverted into operational violence.
Cyber crime investigators in Madhya Pradesh are now coordinating with central communication agencies to map the digital footprint of the sender ahead of the November 15 performance.
