KSCPCR recommends comprehensive regulatory framework for day care centres

KSCPCR recommends comprehensive regulatory framework for day care centres The Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (KSCPCR), following the recent case of abuse of children at a daycare centre run on the IT major Capgemini campus, has recommended that the State government introduce a comprehensive regulatory framework for daycare centres. Santosh Kumar, Chairman, KSCPCR, addressing media persons here on Saturday, said the commission currently has no consolidated data on the number of daycare centres operating in Bengaluru or across Karnataka, highlighting the absence of a regulatory mechanism. Kumar said that registration should be made mandatory for every daycare centre, and all centres in the State should be brought under the jurisdiction of a single government department for registration and regulation. In light of the recent case, the commission recommends that CCTV cameras should be installed in all childcare areas, and parents should be provided access to monitor their children through live feed. Daycare centres should have adequate medical facilities, child safety protocols and emergency response mechanisms. Only trained and qualified caregivers should be employed, with periodic training made mandatory, the commission has recommended. Companies that outsource childcare services should ensure proper training, monitoring and accountability of staff. Regular inspections and audits should be conducted to ensure compliance with child protection standards, Mr.

Ex-CFO of Reliance Capital Limited held in connection with probe into Reliance ADA Group cases: CBI

Ex-CFO of Reliance Capital Limited held in connection with probe into Reliance ADA Group cases: CBI The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested the former chief financial officer of Reliance Capital Limited, Amit Bapna, in connection with its ongoing investigation into Reliance ADA Group cases, officials said on Saturday (July 4, 2026). The federal agency has alleged that Bapna, who served as the CFO of Reliance Capital Limited from August 2014 to December 2019, was “one of the key decision makers responsible for managing the financial affairs of the company”. “He allegedly facilitated and approved loans to intermediary and conduit companies despite being aware that such lending was contrary to RBI guidelines and the sanction conditions governing borrowings from Public Sector Banks,” a spokesperson of the CBI said in a statement. No immediate reaction was available from the company. The CBI probe has shown that funds borrowed by Reliance Commercial Finance Limited (RCFL) were diverted through such intermediary entities to various Reliance ADA Group companies, including Reliance Capital Limited, Reliance Infrastructure Limited and Reliance Power Limited, thereby causing wrongful loss to the lending banks and corresponding wrongful gain to the accused persons and related entities, the spokesperson said. Bapna was already in judicial custody in a case being probed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and was lodged in the Tihar jail here. “In order to secure his custody in the present case, the CBI obtained a production warrant from the Special Judge for CBI cases, Mumbai. Accordingly, he was produced before the CBI Special Court, Mumbai, and arrested on 04.07.2026,” the spokesperson said. Bapna has been sent to four days of police custody by the special court, the spokesperson added. The CBI has registered seven FIRs against Reliance Communications Limited…
