Threat Email to Mumbai Mayor Names Amitabh Bachchan, Diljit Dosanjh Concert

Mumbai Mayor Ritu Rajesh Tawde received a threat email on Friday morning naming her office, Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan and Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh’s upcoming concert at Mahalaxmi Racecourse, scheduled for November 27.

The development comes amid separate security concerns surrounding Dosanjh’s Aura India Tour, after Delhi Police refused permission for his October 30 concert at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, citing threat-related inputs and law-and-order commitments.

Mumbai Mayor Receives Threat Email

The email reportedly threatened to target the mayor’s office and Dosanjh’s Mumbai concert. It also mentioned Amitabh Bachchan, although further details about the threat were not immediately available.

The incident has raised concerns ahead of the November 27 event at Mahalaxmi Racecourse. The information provided does not specify whether the email’s claims have been verified or whether any arrests have been made.

Delhi Police Deny Permission for October 30 Concert

Delhi Police have refused permission for Dosanjh’s concert at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, according to a letter sent to ticketing partner BookMyShow and reported earlier by Hindustan Times.

In the letter, the Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police for South District said the application had been examined but could not be approved because of specific threat-related inputs, festive-season security arrangements and other law-and-order responsibilities.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Anant Mittal confirmed that permission had not been granted but declined to provide further details.

Despite the decision, the concert listing remained on BookMyShow’s app and website as of Thursday evening.

Earlier Hoax Bomb Emails Mentioned Dosanjh’s Show

A senior police officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the security concerns also included a hoax bomb-threat email sent to several Delhi schools on the morning of October 15.

One email, reviewed by Hindustan Times, warned students against attending Dosanjh’s October 30 concert and included pro-Khalistani slogans.

Six schools reportedly received the messages, including The British School, Mount Carmel, Ahlcon International School and Ahlcon Public School.

Singer Yet to Comment

Dosanjh and his team have not publicly commented on the developments, according to the source report.

The reported threat in Mumbai and the denial of permission for the Delhi concert are separate developments, with authorities yet to publicly establish whether the two incidents are connected.
