Claim
It is alleged that the caregivers inflicted not only physical but also mental trauma on the children.
“आरोप है कि उन्होंने मासूमों को ना सिर्फ शारीरिक बल्कि मानसिक आघात दिए।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The claim matches the Bengaluru Capgemini-campus creche case current at the broadcast date (2026-07-02). Police had registered an FIR against five caregivers alleging physical assault of toddlers plus intimidation/threats (acts causing mental trauma, reflected in criminal-intimidation and cruelty charges). The anchor correctly framed it as an allegation ('आरोप है'), consistent with the FIR stage — no arrests or convictions yet. Multiple independent outlets corroborate both the physical and psychological abuse allegations.
