14 men trespass into UK Sikh temple |
Fourteen people were arrested for aggravated trespassing in the West Midlands region of England after a gang of 20-30 sword-wielding men stormed a Sikh temple, apparently opposing a mixed race marriage between a Sikh and a non-Sikh couple. Jatinder Singh Birdi, a former treasurer at the temple, said there have been tensions that have been going on for a couple of years with some people objecting to mixed marriages taking place in the Gurdwara. A police cordon is currently in force around the temple while officers and religious leaders try to end the stand-off.
