Punjabi star Diljit Dosanjh, who is currently on the Indian leg of his AURA Tour, has been facing serious security concerns following a bomb threat email.
Recently, three private schools and the Indore mayor's office received emails threatening bomb blasts in connection with his concert in the city, scheduled to take place on November 15.

Madhya Pradesh HC Receives Bomb Threat Ahead Of Diljit Dosanjh Concert
The Gwalior bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court reportedly received a bomb threat email mentioning singer Diljit Dosanjh's November 15 concert in Indore, police said on Tuesday. The email was sent to the High Court's website. It threatened to blow up the Gwalior HC building and also mentioned the concert and certain organisations, City Superintendent of Police Robin Jain told reporters.
"Police are on alert and security at the High Court premises has been strengthened. Police in Indore and Bhopal are also assisting us," he said. SP Jain added that their teams are trying to trace the email and identify the person who sent it.
This is not the first threat linked to the event. Three schools and the Indore mayor's office had earlier received similar emails. The threats prompted a search, but no explosives were found on the school premises.
Diljit Dosanjh REACTS To Bomb Threat
Despite the threats, Diljit Dosanjh's Indore concert will go ahead as planned. During a recent Instagram Live session, the singer dismissed rumours of the show being cancelled due to security concerns.
"15 tareekh ko Indore aa rahe hain, 101 per cent aa rahe hain! Sabse pehle aakar poha khaayenge, phir energy lekar phir chak de phatte. Koi joh marzi bole, main 15 tareekh ko zaroor milunga. Aap bas meri baat par vishwas rakho (We are coming to Indore on the 15th, 101 per cent! We will first enjoy some poha and then bring that energy to the stage and rock the show. No matter what anyone says, I will definitely meet you all on November 15. Just trust me)," he said.
Reacting to the threats, the singer said in Punjabi, "Anyone can say anything, but I will meet you in Indore on November 15. I have heard on the news that there will be some threat. But we know how to handle this. Do they know who we are?"
Diljit Dosanjh Will NOT Perform THESE Songs
The concert recently made headlines for another reason. Authorities have banned four of Dosanjh's popular songs from the setlist. These include Patiala Peg, 5 Tara Theke, Jeb Vicho Feem and Jatt Fire Karda.
Authorities raised concerns that the songs promote alcohol and violence, which could have a negative impact on children and other members of the audience.
