Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh stressed the need to verify facts before drawing conclusions after the Delhi Police approved his October 30 concert in the national capital.
In Mumbai, an emailed threat to bomb Dosanjh’s upcoming concert in the city as well as actor Amitabh Bachchan’s home and mayor Ritu Tawde’s office led to police and security agencies being placed on high alert.
Delhi Police initially refused permission for the concert at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Thursday, citing specific threat inputs, security concerns and law-and-order commitments during the ongoing festive season.
However, following a meeting with BookMyShow organisers on Friday, the police reviewed their decision and cleared the event.
Dosanjh addressed the speculation surrounding his concert in an Instagram video. The October 30 show will mark the beginning of his Aura World Tour in India.
“What a good day today! What a good vibes coming! So are you done with reels and tweets, with the newsroom debates ? Now let’s meet on 30th in Delhi,” Dosanjh said in the video.
“Find out the facts first before jumping to conclusions. You’re making a lot of noise without knowing the full story. It's better to get your facts straight first. They keep having one debate after another and posting tweet after tweet,” he added.
In a statement on Friday, BookMyShow Live said Delhi Police had asked the organisers to implement additional safety, traffic and crowd-management measures in view of the festive season.
Following the Delhi concert, Dosanjh will take his Aura World Tour to Indore, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Lucknow and Chandigarh.
The 42-year-old singer last toured India in 2024 with his Dil-Luminati Tour, performing in several major cities, including New Delhi, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Pune, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Indore, Chandigarh and Guwahati, before wrapping up the tour in Ludhiana.
