After being confined to their house for three years due to fear of contracting COVID-19, a woman and her 10-year-old son were rescued by the police in Gurugram, India.
Munmun Majhi, 33, had locked herself and her son inside their home in 2020, not allowing her husband, Sujan Majhi, to enter after he returned from work. Despite Sujan’s efforts to provide groceries and support from a distance, Munmun refused to leave the house.
Concerned for his wife and son’s well-being, Sujan approached the police, who initially did not believe his story. After a video call with Munmun, officers became aware of the situation and eventually convinced her to leave the house. However, her son was not with her, and officers found him inside the house where he had spent the last three years drawing and writing on walls.
