A clash broke out Saturday between two groups of collegians during a Republic Day function in Khujner town in Madhya Pradesh's Rajgarh district, police said.
Students from both groups smashed chairs kept at the venue and also engaged in fisticuffs, Khujner police station in charge Ramkumar Raghuvanshi said.
A large contingent of police personnel was rushed to spot and the situation was brought under control, he informed.
