A 50-year-old American woman was found chained to a tree in the middle of the jungle in India.
The woman said she spent 40 days in this state.
A US native who had been living in Goa for the past ten years was discovered on the outskirts of the city of Sawantwadi by a shepherd, writes the Daily Mail .
The man heard a cry for help. He called the police. The American woman was freed from the chain with the help of pliers.
She was taken to a local hospital in critical condition. The woman was dehydrated and had difficulty speaking.
Doctors stabilized her condition. Later, she said that she almost died because of her husband. According to her, it was he who chained her to a tree after an argument.
A criminal case has been opened against the woman's husband. He is accused of attempted murder. The police are currently working with him.
Doctors note that the American's life is no longer in danger, but her mental health is undermined. Law enforcement officers found psychotropic substances among her personal belongings.
