Violence broke out during the Maratha quota agitation in Chakan town, about 40 kms from here, in Maharashtra today, police said.
The protesters indulged in stone-pelting and torched some public transport buses and private vehicles, a senior police officer said.
Some police personnel sustained injuries in the stone pelting by the agitators, the officer said.
Some Maratha organisations had given a call for a bandh today in Chakan area and a rally was carried out.
Quick Response Teams have been moved to the violence affected area, police said.
Marathas, a politically-influential community constituting around 30 per cent of the state's population, have been agitating to press their demand for reservation in jobs and education.
