In an unusual twist of events, a Russian mother and her two young daughters have been discovered living in a cave in Karnataka, India, raising serious questions about their well-being and how they ended up there. Nina Kutina was rescued by police during a routine patrol in the Gokarna forest, a region known for its beauty but also home to dangerous wildlife.
Kutiny and her daughters, ages six and five, reportedly lack the necessary documentation to remain in India. Now in a detention center, they are facing imminent deportation. In just two video interviews, Kutina expressed contentment with their life in the cave, claiming that "nature gives good health." However, authorities are baffled by the situation, with many details about their past remaining unclear.
The discovery happened when officers noticed bright clothes hung near the entrance of the cave. Upon inspection, they found the family living in poor conditions with minimal possessions. Kutina argued that the cave offered them a safe and enriching environment, stating, "Animals and snakes are our friends," contrary to police warnings about potential dangers.
Kutina has stated that she has not lived in Russia for 15 years and has traveled extensively in various countries. Her eldest son tragically passed away last year, leading to significant turmoil in her life. Investigators are now reaching out to the Russian consulate in India to facilitate her and her daughters' repatriation.
Despite facing questions about her living situation, Kutina continues to assert that life in the cave was fulfilling, emphasizing activities like swimming and arts and crafts. As the mystery of her journey unfolds, the authorities are working to trace her history to better understand how a family ended up living in such a precarious location.
