Arouche's subgroup-index consequence for braid commutator subgroups

From papers

Let BnB_n be the braid group on nn strands and let Kn=[Bn,Bn]K_n=[B_n,B_n] be its commutator subgroup. A subgroup has index rr if its coset action gives a transitive representation KnSrK_n\to S_r. Arouche's subgroup-index consequence. For n5n\geq 5 and 2rn12\leq r\leq n-1, there are no subgroups of KnK_n with index rr. Moreover, every nontrivial representation ρ\rho of KnK_n into SnS_n is transitive. The source presents this as a consequence of the preceding triviality conjecture, so its resolution is likewise not established in the supplied text.
