Vehicles were set ablaze and shops were vandalised by miscreants.
Violence broke out in Madhya Pradesh's Shajapur apparently after stones were pelted on a procession being carried out on Maharana Pratap Jayanti on Saturday.
According to eye-witnesses, the trouble started this afternoon when some people started hurling stones on the procession which was passing through the Nai Sadak area.
They also torched several vehicles and vandalised an electronic goods store, the police said.
