employees of a major tech company. The arrest was made days after videos, allegedly showing female crèche workers assaulting and intimidating crying children by shutting them in toilets and washing machines and spraying them with a bidet, surfaced online. Police have registered a case against five employees of the crèche at Capgemini and say more arrests are likely. Many corporates in India have begun setting up daycare centres on campus to attract and retain talent, but the regulatory frameworks governing them remain loose. Capgemini has temporarily shut the daycare centre. "Capgemini's foremost priority is the health, safety and wellbeing of its employees and their families.

"As a precautionary measure, we are temporarily closing the Bengaluru on-campus daycare facility," it added. Unlike schools that are governed by well-defined regulations, children's daycare facilities in India operate under a clutch of state-level rules, municipal regulations and local licencing requirements. Their standards differ from state to state and implementation of rules remains lax. (BBC)
