Overview
- On Sunday Amitabh Bachchan appeared at his usual Jalsa fan meet from inside a transparent, reportedly bulletproof shell set on an elevated platform while fans stood behind barricades.
- Abhishek Bachchan stood with his father and Mumbai Police were visibly present throughout the appearance, with tightened security measures in place.
- Mumbai Police say they received information on October 23 about a bomb‑threat email sent to a Bandra‑Kurla Complex school and launched an investigation that remains ongoing.
- The threatening letter has been reported to mention Jalsa, list October 31 and November 27 as alleged dates, name Diljit Dosanjh and Mahalaxmi Racecourse, include pro‑Khalistan slogans and be signed by a group calling itself the 'Khalistan National Army', though those claims are still under verification.
- Outlets link the stepped‑up protection to investigative findings after the Tiger Shroff attack that reportedly involved reconnaissance of celebrity homes, and Bachchan has said doctors have advised him to take more rest while police continue their probe.
