Karwar: Police have rescued a woman who was living in a cave with her two children in a remote forest in Gokarna and are making arrangements to send her back to Russia.
The rescued Russian woman has been identified as Nina Kutina, and the mother and children had stayed in the same cave in the forest many times in the past, police said. The family lived in darkness amidst the dense forest of Ramatirtha hill. They were found in the cave during a police patrol.
The Russian woman had written about the beauty of nature on social media a few days ago. She described how beautiful things were from the sky, grass, waterfalls, snakes, etc. All this has been replaced by the icy, hard ground, and evil has won again, she lamented.
Our cave life is over. Our cozy, comfortable home has been broken. We are being kept in a prison with no sky, no grass, no waterfall, with icy hard ground, on which we now sleep to protect ourselves from the rain and snakes,” Kutina lamented.
Nearly a week after the Russian woman and her children were rescued and sent to an ashram in Kumuta, Kutina was produced before the Foreigners Regional Registration Office on Monday. Kutina will be kept at a detention centre in Tumkur until she is sent to Russia.
According to FRRO officials, she will have to buy her own ticket. Kutina, a native of St. Petersburg, Russia, had come to India on a business visa issued on October 18, 2016. She was then working at a resort in Goa. Since she was found to have been living in India for most of her time, Kutina was granted an exit permit on April 19, 2018.
