TURLOCK (CBS13) – The congregation at the Turlock Sikh temple that broke out in a brawl last Sunday invited the public to watch them worship peacefully inside the temple.
Turlock police and security were at the temple this Sunday watching the service.
So far, three people have been arrested in last Sunday's brawl, which members say was sparked by a feud between two temple committees.
