Woman confined sans water for 7 yrs
20 Sep 2008

CHENNAI: Bhanumathy, 55, is scared of water. It has been that way for at least seven years. Rescued recently from a cowshed in Aandankarai in Nagapattinam district in southern Tamil Nadu, where she was kept captive for almost 20 years, Bhanumathy is now at a relative s place in the city. Her relatives, who rescued her, said Bhanumathy was kept in confinement by her husband and mother-in-law for not bringing in dowry. Her husband, Vijayakumar, who has married again, denied the dowry charges but said the family confined her in a hut behind our house because she never used to bathe or brush and would turn hysterical. It was too embarrassing to have her in the house.

Doctors attending on her say she has been conditioned against water (she drank other liquids for survival), which she hasn t even tasted for at least seven years. Last month, Deepa, Bhanumathy s niece, visited Aandankarai as she had not seen or heard from her aunt in several years. She is my mother s sister. There was a break in our ties after my maternal uncles refused to give Vijayakumar the dowry he demanded when Bhanumathy was pregnant. We have not spoken or received any letters from her. We got a call from another distant relative saying she was locked up in the cowshed and was struggling to even walk, said Deepa, who lives in Chennai.

I saw her lying in a pitch dark corner. She had just two pieces of clothes on her. She could not stand or sit and had injuries in her back and legs. It looked like she had not bathed in years. She had maggots and lice in her hair, said Deepa. Neighbours said Bhanumathy had been detained there for several years. I heard that she was beaten up whenever she tried to use water. She was also not allowed to see her two sons, she said.

9. Cognizant navallur office is actually not in chennai, it comes under a district called Chengalpet which is 51 kms from main city.
10. Once we saw a girl in the food court, she was looking and acting like a north indian. My friend became exited and planned to talk to her, but just then we noticed her breakfast and then dil ke armaan aansuon mein behaye , she was having pongal. (disguise!!)
