Shivani P Sharma whose three year old daughter Myra's thumb was "amputated" has posted details of the incident which occurred at the day care centre in Sector 56 area of Gurgaon on April 28, on the social site Facebook.
Shivani has also lodged her complaint at the Sector 56 police station.
"We registered a case on the complaint given by Shivani Sharma on May 7 and notice has been issued to the accused to join investigation which is going on," said Sector 56 police station SHO Amit.
"I want to report the utter negligence of DayCare owner Archana Benjiwal and her staff in running and taking care of kids," Shivani wrote in her post which was shared more than 11000 times.
As per the account of Shivani she dropped her daughter at the daycare at 12.30 pm on April 28 and half an hour later received a phone call while she was in her office, that there was an emergency and her daughter hit her right thumb.
She was told that another kid had closed a door and her daughter's thumb was crushed in it.
Shivani mentioned that at 6 pm on the day a team of doctors at Medanta performed surgery on Myra's thumb. The doctors told her to wait six weeks to get its result.
"During this whole time I was alone as my husband was out of country.," she said.
"The day care owners Archana and her husband Prashant came to picture only after a day of this incident. Her husband came to our house on May 1 apologising and saying that they will completely bear the expense of all treatments as it is their mistake," she added.
"I will fight till we get you the right treatment which you deserve," she said in the post.
The daycare owners could not be contacted for their version of the incident.
