Bride says Fremont wedding brawl started by crashers

Wedding reception brawl in Fremont involved almost 70 people, several injured, police say A conditional use permit issued by the city requires the Royal Palace Banquet Hall, at 6058 Stevenson Blvd., to have video cameras facing the parking lot where the fighting took place and one security guard present for every 50 guests at events.

It appears that may not have been the case when the banquet hall hosted a wedding reception for 700 people on May 6, police spokesperson Geneva Bosques said, noting the fighting was not captured by cameras facing the exterior of the building.

“If there are any cameras in the parking lot, they are not currently functional. We did establish that with the property owner,” Bosques said last week.

The bride told this newspaper that seven security guards were supposed to be at the reception but only two arrived and did little to stop the violence. According to the permit, the hall should have had at least 14 guards for the event.

Bosques said the police department and the city’s community development staff have been working with the business owner, Jamal Siddiqi, to determine whether Royal Palace complied with all safety and operational requirements laid out in its contract with the city. She said the city cannot yet say publicly whether the business was in violation of its permit.

“I’d definitely say the city has concerns,” she said. She added the city is exploring possible sanctions that could range from a simple citation to revocation of the permit.

“Our city attorneys have been heavily involved,” Bosques said.

Siddiqi did not respond to multiple calls requesting comment for this story.

The hall’s conditional use permit was issued in 2013 and amended in 2015 to allow it to host public events such as concerts.

Bosques said that in at least two recent public events, including last New Year’s Eve, the business asked police for permission to reduce the number of security guards on site and its requests were approved. No such request was made for the wedding reception, Bosques said.

Prior to the May 6 brawl, there had been no major issues with The Royal Palace since it began operating, she added.

According to the hall’s permit, “The exact location and quantity of all security cameras shall be subject to approval by the police department prior to final occupancy.” Bosques said she could not confirm whether an inspection occurred before the business opened but pointed out one has since taken place.

The permit also requires the parking lot be “sufficiently illuminated during hours of darkness to the satisfaction of the Police Department,” among other conditions.

The bride said the fighting was started by several uninvited guests who showed up to the reception and, after being asked to leave, began attacking people early Sunday morning in the parking lot.

Fremont police said about 20 officers from Fremont and Newark arrived just before 12:30 a.m. May 7, and dozens of people ended up fighting. Graphic video captured on cellphones showed some people being attacked by more than one person and others being stomped while on the pavement.

Amritpal Singh, 23, of Missouri, was charged with felony battery causing great bodily injury to Daljit Gill, one of two men hospitalized with critical injuries after the fighting. Singh was freed on $100,000 bail and is expected to enter a plea at his next court appearance Tuesday.

In 2008, the Niles Banquet Hall in Fremont, owned by Alameda County Water District board member John Weed, had its hours shortened and alcohol service restricted by the planning commission following two violent incidents.

A man was fatally shot after a wedding reception in February of that year, and in June five men were stabbed; both incidents occurred after wedding receptions.
