Overview
- CCTV clips showing toddlers being mistreated at the Little Scholars daycare on the Capgemini Bengaluru campus went viral and an FIR was filed after the footage circulated on June 29, 2026.
- Little Scholars management says two employees dismissed after a June 25 workplace altercation then smuggled a phone into the facility, filmed children outside camera coverage and used the clips to try to extort the centre and secure reinstatement.
- HAL Police have arrested two staff members named in the management’s complaint, identified as Sujata and Vijaya Laxmi R., while other staff named by Little Scholars are reported as untraced and under investigation.
- Police and the daycare say an alleged impostor called Mahendar posed as a police official and sought money from the proprietor, and investigators have examined CCTV footage, call logs and financial records handed over by Little Scholars.
- The case raises legal and reputational stakes for the daycare and its campus host as investigators continue to verify whether the videos were staged, and formal findings will depend on the ongoing police probe and any court proceedings.
