A day before this incident, information had come to light that permission was not given to a concert of Diljit Dosanjh in Delhi. His program was proposed on October 30 at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.

The letter said that Diljit Dosanjh's request for permission to organize the Delhi event of 'Aura India Tour' was considered, but in view of the current security situation, it cannot be approved.
The proposed event in Delhi was to mark the beginning of Diljit's India tour. After this, programs were also proposed in Indore, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Lucknow and Chandigarh as part of the tour. The singer has previously performed in various countries of North America, Europe and Australia as part of his world tour.
The emails received by the Mayor of Mumbai and the incidents of cancellation of permission for the event in Delhi are related to different security situations. At present, there is no clear information available regarding the identity of the email sender and his intentions in the case related to the threat received in Mumbai. The situation will become more clear as further information regarding the facts related to the case and possible security measures comes to light.
