Children between two and three years old made to sit in the drum of a front-loading washing machine, water sprayed into their mouths with a toilet jet spray, and locked in bathrooms – these were the inhuman punishments allegedly meted out at a daycare centre in Bengaluru.
A case has been filed against five women caregivers at the centre, which was operating inside the HAL campus of Capgemini.
“The toddlers were made to sit in washing machines, water was sprayed into their mouths and they were locked inside bathrooms to silence them when they cried,” said an official.
