Gun, Kirpans, Pepper Spray: Clash Inside Germany Gurdwara Leaves 11 Wounded

At least 11 people were injured after a violent altercation broke out inside a gurdwara in Moers, Germany, involving nearly 40 individuals. The clash, captured in videos circulating online, showed the use of knives, kirpans and pepper spray, while witnesses also alleged that a firearm was used. German police responded with a major deployment, detaining at least one suspect and launching an extensive investigation. Early findings suggest the violence may be linked to ongoing disputes over the gurdwara’s management, including disagreements related to board elections and control of funds. Authorities believe the firearm used could be a blank pistol, as the probe continues.
