Police in India found a 50-year-old American woman chained to a tree in a forest in the country’s western Maharashtra state, where she claims her Indian husband left her to die. Maharashtra Police told CBS News the woman, identified as Lalita Kayi Kumar, was found in a forest in the Sindhudurg district of the state, about 280 miles south of India’s financial capital Mumbai, on Saturday after local shepherds heard her cries for help and alerted authorities.
Photos and videos broadcast by Indian news outlets showed an emaciated-looking woman clad in ragged, loose clothing being assisted by rescuers in the middle of a forest, with one of her legs affixed to a tree with a metal chain.
A video broadcast by India’s India Today TV channel showed medics surrounding Kumar on a hospital bed as she wrote a note to communicate her story. In it, she says she is unable to speak and alleges that her husband left her shackled in the jungle to die.
“Injection for extreme psychosis which caused a severely locked jaw and inability to drink any water. Need intravenous food. 40 days without food and water. Husband tied me to a tree in the forest and said I would die there,” the note read.
Oh this poor woman. Her husband is an animal.
40 days without drinking water is impossible.
Much doubt.
I feel like after a few days chained to a tree your sense of time might not be very reliable
I read it as she was unable to open her mouth to eat, drink, and speak and was on an iv BEFORE her husband took her to the forest and left her there.
I am cautious in believing this story, the general survival rule is that a person can go 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food. She claims she went 40 days without food and water which would be significantly longer than any person would normally survive.

Thanks! :-)
Because it is a wall of text and is a 100% biased source of “reliability” info.
Because it’s a wall of text bot-spam from a self-appointed arbiter of truthfulness with questionable methodology.
And it’s spammed to every posting on some subs giving the disappointing appearance of actual human activity.
