Overview
- On Sunday, November 1, Amitabh Bachchan stepped onto an elevated platform at his Juhu home, Jalsa, and waved to fans from inside a transparent, reportedly bulletproof enclosure while Mumbai Police and barricades secured the area.
- Mumbai Police opened an investigation after receiving information on October 23 about a threatening email that named Jalsa, the mayor’s office and other locations and referenced possible attack dates and pro‑Khalistan slogans.
- The move follows the October 18 shooting targeting Tiger Shroff, which investigators say included reconnaissance of celebrity homes and prompted several stars to tighten on‑site security.
- The All India Cine Workers Association has written to the prime minister asking for an NIA‑level probe and fast‑track action, and political figures have publicly criticised government handling of celebrity security.
- Bachchan’s appearance preserved his weekly ritual but changed how fans can see him, with his son Abhishek visibly overseeing arrangements and the actor saying doctors have advised more rest as he balances recovery with public duties.
