Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh appealed for calm after violent protests erupted in New Delhi over the weekend. The WSJ’s R. Jai Krishna has more from the scene of the demonstrations.

NEW DELHI—Indian police on Monday cordoned off large parts of central New Delhi and shut down public transport in an attempt to prevent further demonstrations after a weekend of protests over the aggravated rape of a woman in the city earlier this month.

India’s Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, in a televised appearance Monday, appealed for calm. On Saturday and Sunday, police fired tear gas and water cannons at protesters, many of them students. On Sunday, protesters set fire to barricades and overturned a government vehicle. There were about 85 injuries, including police and protesters, according to police officials. A number of protesters were detained and later released, police said.
