Mumbai, Nov 13: In anticipation of his concert scheduled for November 21 in Ahmedabad, renowned singer Diljit Dosanjh has been advised against performing four specific songs that are claimed to promote alcohol, drug use, and violence.
The District Child Protection Officer has formally requested the Police Commissioner to impose restrictions on the concert, insisting that these songs should not be performed, even if the lyrics are altered.
The songs in question include ‘Patiala Peg’, ‘5 Taara Theke’, ‘Jeb Vicho Feem’, and ‘Jatt Fire Karda’, which have been criticized for their themes.
Prior to his Ahmedabad performance, Diljit is also set to take the stage in Indore on November 15. However, bomb threats have been reported targeting three banks and the Mayor’s Secretariat in the city, communicated through emails in both Punjabi and English.
These threats have heightened security measures, prompting a Bomb Disposal Squad to conduct a thorough search of the Mayor’s Secretariat, while police are actively investigating the origins of the emails.
In response to the threats, security protocols have been intensified at the affected locations. Reports indicate that threatening emails were directed at Bandhan Bank, Bank of Baroda, Punjab National Bank, and the Indore Mayor’s Secretariat.
Indore Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav remarked that attempts to disrupt positive initiatives would not succeed, emphasizing that such intimidation would not hinder events and development in the city.
Police officer Rajesh Dandotiya confirmed that threats had been received via emails aimed at four distinct locations, and investigations are underway to trace the email addresses used to send these threats.
