Security agencies on alert as they assess threat to Amitabh Bachchan after his interaction with Diljit Dosanjh on KBC

Central security agencies are reportedly assessing a potential threat to Amitabh Bachchan after his recent interaction with Diljit Dosanjh on Kaun Banega Crorepati triggered backlash from Khalistani groups.

According to sources cited by CNN-News18, agencies fear an attempt could be made against Amitabh Bachchan, following threats linked to the episode where Diljit Dosanjh appeared as a celebrity guest. The controversy erupted after the singer was seen touching Big B’s feet which was condemned by the separatist group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ).

SFJ’s chief, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, issued a warning. He accused Diljit of “dishonouring Sikh victims” of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots by paying respect to Amitabh Bachchan. The organisation continues to allege Big B of playing a role in inciting violence after former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s assassination.

“By touching feet of Bachchan the man whose words orchestrated Genocide, Diljit Dosanjh has insulted every victim, every widow, and every orphan of 1984 Sikh Genocide,” the group said in a statement.
