Bengaluru News: A social media post has sparked concern after a woman accused her live-in nanny of assaulting her four-year-old daughter and stealing valuables from their home. The nanny, allegedly hired through an app-based agency, is also accused of removing CCTV SD cards to erase evidence.
According to the post, an FIR has been registered and the accused faces charges of assault, theft and tampering with evidence. The mother wrote that what troubled her most was not the loss of valuables but the betrayal of trust in someone responsible for her child’s safety.

The post called for stricter background checks, stronger accountability from agencies and blacklisting of workers accused of such misconduct. “This is not about jewellery or cash. It is about ensuring no other child goes through this,” the woman wrote.
The case has triggered widespread reaction online. Many expressed sympathy for the family and stressed the need for tougher regulations for domestic help services offered by private agencies.
“This is very scary, I hope the little girl is safe,” one user commented. Another added, “Agencies often lack accountability. We once hired a nanny through a subscription service, but she disappeared within a month along with belongings.”
In separate news, Eleven police personnel, including an inspector, have been suspended in Bengaluru after being accused of colluding with a gang selling sedative tablets in the city’s west division. According to reports, the officers allegedly accepted protection money and socialised with traffickers. The racket came to light when RR Nagar police arrested six men on August 22 and seized nearly 1,000 banned tablets. Investigations linked the peddlers to staff from Chamarajapete and JJ Nagar stations. A departmental inquiry revealed the officers not only collected money but also partied with traffickers, raising serious questions over police involvement in Bengaluru’s anti-drug drive.
