A 35-year-old woman, who was allegedly locked up in a room by her parents for four years, was rescued by police from her residence in Bangalore on Monday.
According to the police, Hemavathi, a Commerce graduate, was found lying on the floor, and allegedly looked unkempt and was not clothed properly, when they reached her residence after a tip-off. She was shifted to National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences for treatment.
Rebutting allegations that his daughter had been illegally confined, Hemavathi's father said she had a rheumatic problem but was not taking medicines. Her brother added that she had health problems for which she had been treated.
On allegations that Hemavathi was put under "house arrest" as her parents had opposed her marrying a person of her choice, Health Minister U T Khader, who visited her, said the Health Department officials will look into the matter.
"Let her get well. We will see," he said.
