Dakshina Kannada: 80-year-old missing woman found in jungle after three days in Nelyadi
Nelyadi: An 80-year-old woman who had gone missing from Kaudrady village here on February 28, was found in a nearby reserved forest area on March 3.
The woman, identified as Aisamma, a resident of Donthila near Hosamajalu in Kaudrady village was reported missing from Feb 28 evening after she did not return home from her neighbors’ house.
According to the family, Aisamma used to routinely visit their neigbor’s house but did not return home on Feb 28. Her son Mohammed along with his friends looked for her at various places in the village but failed to trace her.
Aisamma was later found in a nearby reserved forest area having spent two days and three nights in the jungle. The family suspected she must have lost her way while returning home from the neighbor’s house leading her to wander in the jungle.
A missing complaint was also filed with the police on March 1.
On the morning of March 3, Shiju, who supplied milk to the cooperative society in Hosamajalu, caught sight of the 80-year-old in the reserve forest area in Erthila near Mannagundi.
Aisamma’s son Mohammed has said that, while the senior citizen’s health is otherwise unaffected by the incident, her tongue has turned green as she was forced to eat leaves in the jungle when she was hungry. She also drank water from a stream near Erthila, where she was found, he added.
