POLICE were called to a disturbance at a Bradford Gurdwara after a live video showed unsavoury scenes.
The incident occurred at the Guru Gobind Singh Gurdwara Sikh Temple on Leeds Road this past Sunday.
West Yorkshire Police said officers asked those involved to leave the premises.
The dispute was broadcast live on the Guru Gobind Singh Gurdwara Facebook page.
Although it has since been removed, the Telegraph & Argus has viewed the footage.

What does the footage show?
It shows a man behind a podium giving a speech through a microphone.
Another man is then seen taking hold of the wired mic in an abrupt manner.
This leads to chaos, with other people in the room becoming involved.
A dozen or more people gather around the podium, with pushing and shoving taking place.
At one point, tensions seem to have subsided before two older men engage in yet more pushing.
A younger man does his best to try to intervene and break up the trouble.
Following this, another gets on the mic, only for a woman to try grab it from his possession.

Gurdwara issues
This is not the first time this Gurdwara has hit the headlines in recent months.
Back in July, it suspended a committee member amid an ongoing investigation.
It was after the T&A reported the previous month that 39-year-old Gurjit Kaur had been elected education and social secretary.
Ms Kaur told the newspaper this made her the youngest member of the committee.
The Gurdwara then contacted the T&A to say that it had suspended her from her position.
Ms Kaur strenuously denied any of the allegations made against her.
She told the T&A that she had formally complained to the management committee on June 24, 2026, in which she raised a number of allegations of her own.
