Three private schools and the Indore Mayor's office received emails threatening bomb blasts in connection with Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh's scheduled concert on 15 November, police said on Monday, 2 November. Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajesh Dandotiya said the emails, written in Punjabi, threatened school managements and warned them against sending students to the concert. The Times of India reported the emails were sent in the name of the 'Khalistani National Army' and also mentioned targeting actor Amitabh Bachchan's Mumbai residence. Bomb disposal squads searched the schools but found no explosives. Dandotiya said preliminary investigations suggest the messages were hoaxes, but the crime branch is examining technical evidence to identify the senders. Police have written to Meta as part of the probe. Dandotiya clarified that the concert organisers have not yet applied for police permission. The Times of India noted Dosanjh previously faced a threat email on 23 October targeting his show in Mumbai.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

All four sources report the same police statement with near-identical facts, making this uniform straight reporting. The only additional detail comes from Times of India, which names the alleged sender group and notes a previous threat against Dosanjh in October. Those details add context but do not shift the editorial stance. The coverage is entirely event-driven, with no government praise or criticism. The investigation remains open, police have contacted Meta and are analysing technical evidence to trace the email senders.
