Russian woman Nina Kutina and her two daughters were found living in a cave near Gokarna, Karnataka, after overstaying her visa by eight years. Kutina, 40, hid in the forests since 2017, giving birth to both daughters in India. Police found her during a routine patrol and began deportation proceedings. Kutina said she loved India, nature, and meditation but feared people, not animals. The family survived with minimal supplies, living without electricity. They are now in state care. Kutina expressed heartbreak at leaving the forest, calling it her "cozy home." Authorities are investigating the children's paternity and medical history. (PC: The Indian Express)
