Mumbai: A 50-year-old woman with an American passport was found with her leg tied to a tree with a chain in a jungle in Sindhudurg district, Maharashtra.
An officer said the police also found in her bag a note in which she had scribbled “my former husband”. “We have found that the woman, who appears to have been born in the US, had also resided in Goa for some time. We are trying to find out whom she was in touch with in the past few months,” the officer added.
However, in light of the deteriorated physical and mental condition, she was moved to the Goa Medical College for advanced treatment. The police said that while the woman is out of danger, they were informed by doctors that she might be suffering from psychiatric problems. The police have also found a medical prescription from her.
The police said her visa had expired and suspect that she has been in India for the past 10 years.
