Two staff members of the daycare centre inside Bengaluru’s Capgemini campus have been arrested in connection with allegations of locking children in washrooms and placing them inside washing machines.
The arrested caregivers have been identified as Manjula and Vijayalakshmi. According to HAL Police, crucial evidence was discovered against the two accused, with more arrests to follow. The authorities are investigating the roles and responsibilities of Capgemini and the ad agency Little Scholar in the case as
well.
According to preliminary information, Manjula had recruited four other staff members to work at the daycare. The newly hired caretakers lacked basic training, nor were they informed on how to handle children before being assigned responsibilities. Officials are investigating whether the lack of supervision and training was part of the abuse.
A senior-level police officer is supervising the investigation, with a Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed to investigate the allegations.
