Five Caregivers Booked for Alleged Toddler Abuse at Bengaluru Capgemini DaycarePreviousNext

Bengaluru police have registered an FIR against five female caregivers at a daycare centre inside Capgemini's HAL campus following viral videos alleging physical and mental abuse of toddlers aged two to three years. The footage reportedly shows children being locked in washing machines and bathrooms, sprayed with water using toilet jets, and subjected to intimidation. The accused have been questioned, and investigations are ongoing. Capgemini has temporarily closed the daycare and is cooperating with authorities. The case has raised concerns about childcare safety and regulatory oversight in workplace facilities.
