A woman was chained to a tree in the dense forest of the Indian state of Maharashtra. No water, no food. He was quite weak from hunger-thirst-fear. Still screaming for survival. A shepherd heard his scream and got his whereabouts. After being informed, the police came and rescued the woman and took her to the hospital.

Media BBC reported that the incident took place in the forest of Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra. The woman named Lalita Kayi (50) is a citizen of the United States.

Although he was rescued seven days ago, how did an American citizen get trapped in a thick forest in India? Who detained him? Why did you hold back? There is a mystery about these.

Lalita was very weak when rescued. So he was immediately admitted to the hospital. Later, Lalitha’s physical condition improved somewhat. He was transferred to a psychiatric facility on Friday.

The police has given a written statement in this incident. The police said that Lalita went to the forest with her husband. Then the husband left her in chains and ran away. It was her husband’s intention that she should die of hunger and thirst. Lalita complained to the police.

Police are looking for Lalitha’s absconding husband. Based on preliminary information, search is on in Tamil Nadu. However, seven days after the rescue of Lalita, no trace of the person has been found. Even the real reason behind Lalitha’s chaining is not known.

Last Saturday, a shepherd named Pandurang Gawkar heard Lalitha’s cries in the dense forest. He told BBC Marathi that he went to graze cows in the forest. Then he heard a loud scream in a woman’s voice. The shepherd said, ‘Screams were coming from the forest on the side of the mountain. I went there and saw a woman screaming under the tree. His legs were chained. He was screaming like an animal. Then I called the people of the village. The local police was informed.

Police said they have recovered Lalitha’s US passport. An Indian Aadhaar card of Lalita was also found. It says that his home is in Tamil Nadu. She is a dancer and yoga practitioner. Lived in Massachusetts, USA. Ten years ago, Lalita came to Tamil Nadu, India to learn yoga.

Lalitha meets her husband Satish in Tamil Nadu. However, the police believe that she did not live with her husband. But the police could not solve the mystery. Now the police say that they are trying to find clues from the mobile phone, tablet computer recovered from Lalitha.
