New Delhi/Alive News: Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh’s November 15 concert in Indore has faced fresh controversy ahead of his performance. The show, part of his Aura India Tour 2026, has attracted attention over song lyrics, bomb threat emails and security concerns.
The District Child Protection Officer has directed the organisers not to allow four of Diljit’s songs during the concert. The decision follows a complaint by Chandigarh-based professor Panditrao Dharenawar, who objected to lyrics allegedly promoting alcohol, drugs and violence.
The songs named in the order are ‘Patiala Peg’, ‘5 Taara’, ‘Jeb Vicho Afeem’ (Case) and ‘Jatt Fire Karda’. The authorities are concerned about their impact on children, as people aged five and above can attend the event. The order also refers to a 2019 Punjab and Haryana High Court direction against songs glorifying alcohol, drugs and violence.
Meanwhile, three private schools and Indore Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava’s office received bomb threat emails. Police and bomb disposal teams searched the schools but found no explosives. Police suspect the threats may be hoaxes and are investigating.
Diljit has confirmed that he will perform in Indore on November 15. He also mentioned enjoying the city’s famous poha.
The singer faced similar objections during his 2024 concerts in Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh and Mumbai. He even changed some song lyrics during performances to address the concerns.
His previous Indore concert in December 2024 also faced protests by the VHP and Bajrang Dal over liquor and non-vegetarian food stalls. However, the show went ahead under heavy security.
