The story provided by a starving American woman who was found shackled to a tree in India appears to be falling apart, according to a new report.
Lalita Kayi was found chained, starving and emaciated on July 27, deep in the forests of the Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra, about 25 miles from Goa, screaming for help. She was discovered by a cow herder who said he could hear someone “screaming like an animal.”
Having moved to India a decade ago to study yoga and meditation, Kayi told police in a written statement after her discovery that she survived without food and water after being shackled by her former husband, who “chained her and left her in the forest to die without food or water.”
