Mystery surrounds Russian mum and children found in Indian cave
Authorities in India are puzzled after discovering a Russian mother and her two children living in a cave in the state of Uttarakhand. The family, identified as Maria, aged 45, and her two children, aged 9 and 6, were found in a remote cave in the forest area near the popular tourist town of Rishikesh.
Local officials have stated that the family had been living in the cave for the past several years, surviving on a diet of fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Maria reportedly told authorities that they chose to live in seclusion to escape the pressures of modern life and to find inner peace. She also mentioned a desire to live off the grid and away from society’s constraints.
The Russian embassy in India has been contacted regarding the discovery, and they are working with local authorities to assist the family. The embassy has stated that they will provide consular support and necessary assistance to ensure the well-being of the Russian citizens.
While Maria and her children appear to be in good health, they are undergoing medical examinations to ensure they have not suffered any adverse effects from their secluded lifestyle.
The motives behind the family’s decision to live in a cave remain unclear, and authorities are investigating the situation further to understand the full circumstances surrounding their unusual living arrangements.
