Mystery surrounds US woman found starving and chained to tree in India
Lalita Kayi came to India 10 years ago to study yoga and meditation. How did she end up in a forest?
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".

Hey, look at that, "mystery" solved within four paragraphs.
Unless she lied and did it to herself, because of the high chance of existing psychosis.
Not saying I believe that, but pointing out how someone's word or claim means little until the bigger picture is understood.
Hav you ever been accessed of something you never did? I have, multiple times. I've even had to go to court to defend my innocence. People do fucked up things when they are not all there mentally and emotionally.
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.
Yeah the article notes as much,
Police say they have been unable to verify these claims and believe it is unlikely that someone would survive without food or water for so long.
It was raining continuously so it’s possible.
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.
Probably the usual story of spouses abandoned in the forest at the beginning of the summer vacations. Happens every year.
People need to remember that tormenting your spouse is a forever commitment. Help to control the population - have your spouses spayed or neutered. Goodbye everybody!
