The Gwalior bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court received a threatening email that referred to the Diljit Dosanjh Indore concert on 15 November, police said on 10 November 2026. ANI quoted Gwalior police official Robin Jain as saying the email reached the court’s official address and carried threatening words about the singer’s upcoming programme in Indore, besides mentioning other institutions and individuals.
What the email said about the Diljit Dosanjh Indore concert
“An email has been received on the official email address of the High Court, which contains some threatening words regarding the upcoming programme of pop singer Diljit Dosanjh in Indore,” Jain said, according to ANI.
ETV Bharat reported that the email also threatened to blow up the Gwalior High Court building. The Free Press Journal said it warned of an IED blast on the stage and arrived around two days earlier. The outlets describe the contents differently, and none of them publishes the text.
Key numbers
- 15 November: the date of the Indore concert, ANI reported.
- 3 schools: the number that earlier got similar emails, along with the Indore mayor’s office, per ETV Bharat.
- 4 songs: the number barred from the concert, according to the same report.
- About two days: how long before 10 November the High Court email arrived, per the Free Press Journal.
How police in Gwalior and Indore are responding
Police teams in Bhopal, Gwalior and Indore are coordinating, and security has been arranged for every institution named as a possible target, Jain said. A separate team is working to establish who sent the email, where it came from and who was behind it.
The Free Press Journal reported that Gwalior and Indore police, along with the Special Task Force in Bhopal, have started a technical investigation. It said preliminary findings suggest the email came through a foreign network IP address. Gwalior Superintendent of Police Sutkirti Somwanshi confirmed that the email arrived, the paper said, and security was tightened around the court and the judges’ residences as a precaution.
Earlier threats and the song restrictions
ETV Bharat said three schools and the Indore mayor’s office had received similar threats over the concert. Police searched the schools and found no explosives, a senior official told the outlet. The report also noted that four of Dosanjh’s songs were barred from the show over concerns that their alleged promotion of alcohol and violence could affect children and others.
What Dosanjh said
Amid rumours that the show could be cancelled, Dosanjh went live on Instagram on Tuesday and said he would definitely perform in Indore, ANI reported. “15 tareekh ko Indore aa rahe hain, 101 per cent aa rahe hain,” he said.
What happens next
The Diljit Dosanjh Indore concert is five days away. The reports do not say whether authorities consider the threat credible, and no arrest has been announced. For more national coverage, see our India desk.
The threat touches a court, schools, a civic office and a ticketed concert, so police in three cities are coordinating before 15 November. The reports do not say if the threat is judged credible or who sent it. The next signals are any arrest and the final security plan for the Indore venue.
