On November 14, 2005 icCoventry reported, "Warwickshire MP today described how he was caught up in a horrifying attack at a Sikh temple club. Six men needed hospital treatment and dozens more were injured, including Warwick and Leamington MP James Plaskitt. The attackers even used a camcorder to record their attack. Mr Plaskitt was a guest at a Diwali party being held in a social club at the side of the Gurdwara Sahib temple in Leamington... Mr Singh, of Heathcote, Warwick, suffered a broken cheekbone and needed four stitches to his face after he was hit by a chair. His daughter Narinder Sanghera, a pharmacist, said: 'Dad believes these rioters were under the impression that alcohol was being drunk in the temple when in fact that was completely untrue. They were eating and drinking in the social club which is a totally separate building.' A 47-year-old man from Coventry has been arrested in connection with the incident."
