It added that it is cooperating fully with the relevant authorities and assisting them in their efforts to establish the facts.
"As a precautionary measure, we are temporarily closing the Bengaluru on-campus daycare facility," the statement said.
According to reports, an FIR has been registered against five women caregivers under relevant provisions of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act.
The daycare facility is located at the company's HAL campus in Brookfield, Bengaluru.
Police said the alleged abuse came to light after videos purportedly showing incidents inside the childcare center circulated on WhatsApp.
According to the FIR, registered on June 29 at the HAL Police Station on a complaint filed by an official from the district child protection unit, five caregivers have been named in the case.
The complaint alleges that the caregivers physically mistreated and threatened toddlers when they cried. The children involved are believed to be between two and three years old.
The FIR further alleges that some children were sprayed with water in their mouths using a toilet jet spray, locked inside bathrooms, made to sit on Western-style toilets and placed inside a front-loading washing machine.
Police are investigating the allegations.
Earlier this year, Capgemini announced plans to cut up to 2,400 jobs in France, representing about 6 percent of its workforce in the country, amid weak demand in key sectors in its home market.
