"A struggle for control of a Sikh temple in Fremont erupted into a fight involving as many as 50 people during religious ceremonies Sunday.

No one among the 400 to 500 worshipers was seriously injured, while nine people were arrested on charges including battery and brandishing weapons in the melee at Gurdwara Sahib Temple on Hillside Avenue.

A spokesman for the Fremont Police Department said police had been alerted to the possibility of trouble between two factions that had been feuding for several months. Their dispute came to a head after a popular head priest was fired Friday by the temple's management group." (visit link)
