• The disruption occurred during a procession commemorating Guru Gobind Singh's birth anniversary, despite enhanced police security.
• Pentecostal leader Brian Tamaki and his Destiny Church members were linked to the obstruction, though the procession concluded without major incident due to police-Sikh volunteer coordination.
