Police in India found a 50-year-old American woman chained to a tree in a forest in the country’s western Maharashtra state, where she claims her Indian husband left her to die. Maharashtra Police told CBS News the woman, identified as Lalita Kayi Kumar, was found in a forest in the Sindhudurg district of the state, about 280 miles south of India’s financial capital Mumbai, on Saturday after local shepherds heard her cries for help and alerted authorities.

Photos and videos broadcast by Indian news outlets showed an emaciated-looking woman clad in ragged, loose clothing being assisted by rescuers in the middle of a forest, with one of her legs affixed to a tree with a metal chain.

      Not sure why you’re being downvoted, seeing some credibility info about the authors of an article is extremely helpful, especially when it’s a foreign publication I don’t know much about, like CBS News.

      Thanks! :-)

        Because it’s not good?

        It’s a site ran by one random man, it’s got a heavily biased opinion of bias, ridiculously Zionist and will discredit any news source critical of Israel, it’s often straight up wrong, and also the bot spams every post.

        I don’t get why more people aren’t annoyed at it, but I guess they don’t know much about it yet.

        Because it’s a wall of text bot-spam from a self-appointed arbiter of truthfulness with questionable methodology.

        And it’s spammed to every posting on some subs giving the disappointing appearance of actual human activity.

        Because it is a wall of text and is a 100% biased source of “reliability” info.

        Oh but have you thought about the political leaning of the author though?
