Activists of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), the youth wing of the ruling BJP, burnt the starlet's effigies and tore her posters.
"Mallika is going against the Indian culture by exposing herself in movies. We are protesting her visit to Indore," said Abhijeet Singh, a BJYM activist.
She was in the city to inaugurate a fashion store where her fans nearly mobbed her in an attempt to get closer to the actress. When stopped, they clashed with security personnel.
"The fans of the actress clashed with the security personnel. Some people have sustained minor injuries, but the actress was not harmed," said a senior official of Indore police.
