7-Year-Old Hit With Plastic Bottle at Daycare; FIR Filed
A seven-year-old boy named Vihansh goes to a daycare after school in Mumbai.
One day, his mom came to pick him up and saw that his upper lip was swollen.
The daycare workers told her that the boy had fallen while playing.
But when Vihansh got home, he told his parents something different.
He said that a caretaker he called 'Didi' threw a plastic bottle at him while he was playing with friends.
His mom went back to the daycare the next day to ask questions.
The daycare did an inquiry and told the parents that the caretaker had allegedly hit the boy.
The parents then went to the police.
The police filed a case against the caretaker.
Now the police will decide what happens next.
Mumbai daycare employee Manisha Wayangankar was booked for allegedly assaulting a seven-year-old boy with a plastic bottle.
The incident took place on August 4 at the EuroKids Runwal Forest Club House in Kanjurmarg West, Mumbai.
The boy's mother, Ispita, noticed his swollen upper lip when picking him up; staff initially said the child had fallen while playing.
