Mystery surrounds an American woman who was found chained to a tree “screaming” in a forest in the western Indian state of Maharashtra.
Lalita Kayi, 50, was discovered a week ago in the dense forests of Sindhudurg district after her cries for help were heard by shepherds. They alerted the police who sawed off the chain and rescued her.
Ms Kayi, who appeared completely emaciated, was taken to hospital. Her physical health has since improved and, on Friday, she was moved to a psychiatric facility for further treatment, doctors treating her told the BBC.
In a written statement to the police, she has alleged that her husband “chained her and left her in the forest to die without food or water”.
Probably the usual story of spouses abandoned in the forest at the beginning of the summer vacations. Happens every year.
I’m assuming the phone and tablet were dead and that’s why she couldn’t use them to call for help? Also if her husband was doing this to kill her wouldn’t he have taken them away from her? I have so many questions here.
Im feeling similar vibes to when that bipolar van life influencer girl got killed by her boyfriend, who was later found dead.
Not much info on the ladies husband but it sounds like a manic couple off their meds situation.
The mystery is that you would die from lack of water (or exposure, depending) long before you would get that emaciated, or the 40 days she was apparently there.
