Capgemini temporarily closed its daycare facility at the HAL campus in Bengaluru on Wednesday after videos surfaced online showing alleged abuse of toddlers aged two to three years. The company emphasized that employee health, safety, and wellbeing remain its top priority. The Bengaluru police have registered a first information report (FIR) related to the incident but have not made any arrests yet, according to livemint.com.
The closure followed the circulation of videos depicting nannies mistreating children at the daycare center. Capgemini issued a statement confirming the shutdown and said it is cooperating with authorities. The HAL police are investigating the case and gathering evidence. The company has not disclosed further details about the employees involved or the timeline of the abuse allegations, as reported by livemint.com.
This incident has raised concerns about child safety in corporate daycare facilities, which are often relied upon by working parents in India’s IT hubs. Capgemini is one of the largest IT services firms with a significant employee base in Bengaluru, making this case particularly notable. The closure comes amid growing scrutiny of workplace childcare services following similar reports in other companies, highlighting the need for stricter oversight and safeguards.
The HAL police continue their investigation into the alleged abuse at Capgemini’s daycare, with the FIR still active and no arrests made as of the latest update on July 2, 2026, per livemint.com.
