The Dombivli police have registered a case against three people from a daycare centre for assaulting a 3-year-old girl. The child’s father and complainant in the case, Mandar Vishwanath Ogale, 37, said, “Since August 2021, we have been sending my daughter to ‘Happy Kids Day Care’ located at Phadke Road in Dombivli East. I have been paying R8,500 every month for them to care for her from 7 am to 8 pm.”
The police said Mandar works as the driver of a state government vehicle while his wife Anuja works with a private firm in Powai. They decided to send their child to the daycare centre as both were employed full-time. On March 18, Mandar received a call from social worker Kavita Gavand informing him that staff at the daycare centre had been assaulting the kids enrolled there.
