Munde, a senior BJP leader from Maharashtra, died after a car accident in New Delhi on June 3. He was cremated in Parli in the district yesterday.
During the funeral, some people in the crowd tried to stop Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan's car. The attackers indulged in stone pelting and overturned a van of Beed police, setting it on fire. Eight SLR rifles in the van were damaged, police said.
Parli Police Inspector Sahebrao Narvade said cases of rioting were registered against 79 people.
Nineteen persons had been arrested from the spot yesterday evening, he added.
