Claim
A small girl was kept locked up in a bathroom at the day care centre.

Rationale
The claim matches the widely reported Bengaluru daycare abuse case at Capgemini's HAL campus (June 29 - July 2, 2026). Multiple mainstream outlets and wire-sourced reports describe viral videos, one of which shows a small girl locked inside a bathroom and crying; an FIR was registered against five caregivers under the Juvenile Justice Act, and Capgemini shut the facility. No fact-checker (AltNews, BOOM, Factly, Newschecker, PIB) had debunked the videos as of the broadcast date. The events are formally allegations under police investigation, but the anchor's specific statement accurately reflects the video evidence and FIR contents, so it is rated accurate with slightly reduced confidence.
