Russian women found in gokarna cave karnataka: A shocking incident has come to light in the coastal city of Gokarna in Karnataka, where a Russian woman and her two younger daughters were found living in a inaccessible cave in the Ramatirtha hill.
This was revealed when a joint team of police and forest department was patrolling the area in view of tourist security.
The cave, which is located in the landslide potential zone, is considered not only environmentally insecure, but there is also the risk of snakes and wild animals. In such a situation, a woman’s stay with her two children is not only shocking, but also raises questions on law and child-protection system.
How was it revealed?
Inspector Sridhar S.R. of Gokarna Police Station Under the leadership of Ramatirtha hill area at 5 pm on 9 July, patrolling was being done. Meanwhile, there was a stir near the cave. When the team went near and investigated, he found that 40 -year -old Russian citizen Nina Kutiina was living there with his two daughters, 6 -year -old Prema and 4 -year -old Emma.
Because of this she was living in the cave?
During interrogation, Kutiina said that she came to Gokarna in search of spiritual practice and solitude and found this cave suitable for meditation. But the police had serious concern about the safety of children, as this place is not dangerous and not able to live for humans.
Controversial visa status and suspicious activity
Kutiina first refused to give information about her documents, but in the later search operation, her passports and visa documents were recovered from the cave. The investigation revealed that she came to India on 17 April 2017 and went to Nepal after receiving an exit permit in 2018, but then entered India again on 8 September 2018. After this, she was constantly living illegally in India.
Current status and further action
The woman and both the girls are now kept in protective custody at the Women’s Receipt Center at Karwar. The police have started the process of sending them back to Russia by contacting FRRO (Foreigners Registration Office) in Bangalore in this regard. Soon the woman and her children will be taken to Bangalore, where a final decision will be taken on their legal status.
What does administration say?
Police officials say the woman seems mentally stable, but the path she chose was dangerous, especially with two innocent children. Officials are emphasizing that violation of visa rules in India and endangering children falls under the category of serious crime.
