"Nowadays, however, the Soka Gakkai realises that it went too far in 1991 when it allowed 300 of its young zealots to storm a temple in Fukuoka and beat up a worshipper and a priest who had criticised the group. That was the start of a war between the Soka Gakkai and Nichiren Shoshu, which later severed its ties with the Soka Gakkai and excommunicated Mr Ikeda. Source
In March 1991, 300 members of the Soka Gakkai Youth League allegedly, physically attacked 10 people at Kaishinji, a Nichiren temple in Fukuoka, and injured the chief priest and members of his family. The motive was, apparently, to intimidate the priests in the temple where about 100 families had severed ties with the Soka Gakkai."
