Vienna temple fight injures 16 Man dies after Vienna Sikh clash

Police say at least 16 people were injured during a fight inside a Sikh temple in the Austrian capital Vienna. Police in Austria say one of the two Sikh gurus who was shot in a violent dispute between rival Sikh groups at a temple in Austria has died.
The guru, Sant Rama Anand, was attacked during a religious ceremony by six men armed with knives and a pistol.
The other preacher Sant Nirajnan Das who was among 15 other people injured in the clash, was said to be stable.
Following the incident, rival Sikh groups clashed in the Indian state of Punjab.
Indian police said protesters in the city of Jalandhar set fire to vehicles and put up roadblocks.
Witnesses said the protests appeared to be a reaction to the fight at a temple in Vienna, which reportedly began when fundamentalist Sikhs from a higher caste attacked Sant Rama Anand.
The fight involved five men armed with knives and another with a pistol, the BBC's Bethany Bell reports.The fight involved five men armed with knives and another with a pistol, the BBC's Bethany Bell reports.
