| Sisters, locked up for 7 months, rescued | | | AGENCY
Noida Apr 12: A shocking case of two unmarried girls, battling the grief of their father’s death, caging themselves in their apartment, for nearly seven months, came to light on Tuesday.
The girls, aged around 40 years, were forcefully rescued by the police with help from NGO activists today from their flat located in the posh Sector 29 of the city.
Both of them were found in a horrid state, starving and completely dehydrated, with one of the girls said to be in a critical condition.
As per reports, their father, a retired colonel, had passed away six months back. Neighbours say that the girls had gone into a shell after the tragedy and had stopped coming out of their flat. They used to get food home delivered from a nearby canteen but that too stopped after sometime.
Initially neighbours thought it was best to leave them alone, thinking that they need time to come to terms with the loss. In the interim their pet dog also died, pushing them farther from the society.
But when the girls completely stopped coming out of their home, the RWA sought help from the police, they broke open the flat's door today.
The girls have a brother too, who lives separately, leaving them completely helpless, with no one to share their grief, eventually led to severe behavioural problems.
An NGO activist who entered their flat today alongwith the police told a news channel that the entire place smelled very badly and that the girls were wearing sweaters, suggesting that they had not changed clothes ever since their father died last winter. There was no electricity or water in the taps of the house.
Their mother had died sometime ago.
Both of them have been admitted to the nearby Kailash Hospital. However, there is no official word yet on the case.
The tragic case has posed many questions about the isolated lives we live in our cities. The girls had no electricity, no water and no food, and still no one cared or offered them any help till today.
