Bengaluru daycare horror: Operator alleges extortion plot behind abuse videos

Little Scholars daycare alleged former employees Sujata and Vijayalaxmi R staged videos of distressed children after being dismissed.

The videos allegedly showed caregivers locking toddlers in bathrooms, spraying toilet-jet water into their mouths, and placing them inside a washing machine drum.

Capgemini temporarily shut the creche facility after the videos emerged.

Police registered cases against five women and made arrests; investigation is ongoing.

Little Scholars accused former centre manager Manjula of colluding with ex-employees, involving a man posing as police officer named 'Mahender' who demanded Rs 2.5 lakh.
