Bengaluru Daycare Alleges Fired Employees Staged Videos in Extortion Plot at Capgemini Campus Bengaluru Little Scholars, a childcare provider operating at the #Capgemini campus in #Bengaluru,addressed a press conference in Bengaluru alleging a coordinated extortion and defamation campaign orchestrated by disgruntled former employees. According to the company's proprietor, Ms. Ramandeep Kaur and their advocate Aditya Krishna Pandey these individuals manipulated vulnerable children to stage distressing video footage in a premeditated plot for financial blackmail and job reinstatement. ​The sequence of events reportedly began on Thursday, June 25, 2026, following a physical and verbal altercation during working hours between two daycare employees, Ms. Sujata and Ms. Vijaya Laxmi R. Citing a strict zero-tolerance policy for workplace misconduct, Ms. Ramandeep ordered the immediate termination of both individuals and the confiscation of their credentials. While Ms. Vijaya Laxmi complied, Ms. Sujata allegedly refused to surrender her ID, demanding her pending salary as a precondition. ​Despite their termination, the two women repeatedly returned to the Capgemini campus over the following days, leading to interventions by ICREST Security. Little Scholars alleges that to manufacture leverage against the company, the accused bypassed strict security protocols to sneak a prohibited mobile phone into the daycare facility. ​"They specifically targeted vulnerable children who could not speak, relocated them to areas outside of our comprehensive CCTV coverage, and deliberately staged acts of distress to record them on video," #LittleScholars team stated. ​The company asserts that this manipulated footage was the cornerstone of the extortion plot. On June 29, in an attempt to de-escalate the crisis, Ms. Ramandeep transferred the full pending salaries plus 15 days of severance pay to the terminated employees. Despite receiving proof of payment, Ms. Sujata allegedly denied receiving the funds and threatened to release the staged videos to the media.The situation further escalated through the actions of the former Centre Manager, Ms. Manjula. The press release details that Ms. Manjula introduced an individual named "Mahender," who falsely impersonated a police officer from the Electronic City Police Station. ​Exploiting the panic surrounding the threat of leaked videos and a purportedly filed First Information Report (FIR), Mahender successfully pressured Ms. Ramandeep into transferring ₹20,000 for "legal fees." Shortly after, he utilized both his and Ms. Manjula's phones to demand an exorbitant sum of ₹2.5 Lakhs. When Ms. Ramandeep recognized the extortionate nature of the demand and refused to pay, Mahender initiated a campaign of psychological pressure, relentlessly calling and forwarding intimidating news reports. ​On Tuesday, June 30, Capgemini management summoned the involved staff members. Ms. Manjula reportedly attempted to convince her colleagues to defy the corporate investigation. However, acting on direct orders from Ms. Ramandeep, four junior staff members reported to the HAL Police Station. ​During this inquiry, Sub-Inspector Vidya confirmed that "Mahender" was a fraudulent impostor with no ties to law enforcement. Upon learning that the deception had been uncovered by legitimate police, Ms. Manjula reportedly absconded and remains out of contact. ​Little Scholars emphasized that corporate client Capgemini bears no fault in the matter, clarifying that Capgemini's role in the operational arrangement is strictly limited to providing the physical premises and infrastructure.
