Emaciated American Woman Found Chained to a Tree in Indian Forest
An American woman who went to India a decade ago to study yoga and meditation has claimed she survived without food and water for 40 days after being shackled to a tree by her former husband.
U.S. citizen Lalita Kayi Kumar, 50, was found starving and emaciated on Saturday by a local shepherd in a remote forest in the Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra about 25 miles from Goa, according to reports.
The shepherd broke an iron chain that was used to secure her to the tree. Police said she was severely dehydrated and unable to speak.
