According to the PTI report, the email was sent to the High Court's website. It warned that the Gwalior High Court building would be blown up and also carried threatening remarks about 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," Jain said, adding that police teams are probing where the email came from and trying to identify the person behind it.

Gwalior Police Commissioner Sutkeerti Somvanshi also confirmed that the High Court had received the threat, and security agencies in the state have been placed on alert, according to a second report on the threat.

Not the first threat linked to the Indore concert

This is not the first such threat linked to the event. Three schools and the Indore mayor's office had earlier received similar warnings, and the schools were cautioned against sending students to the concert. Police searched the school premises and found no explosives, a senior official said.

Dosanjh says the show will go on

Despite the threats, Diljit Dosanjh said on Tuesday that the concert would certainly take place. Going live on Instagram, the singer told fans: "We are coming to Indore on 15 November," and said he would first eat poha in the city before the show, asking fans not to worry or listen to reports suggesting otherwise.

The concert has also been in the news after four of Dosanjh's popular songs were barred from being performed at the Indore show — 'Patiala Peg', '5 Tara Theke', 'Jeb Vicho Feem' and 'Jatt Fire Karda' — over concerns that their alleged promotion of alcohol and violence could affect children and others in the audience.
