Russian mom and 2 kids living illegally in Indian forest leaves cops confused

Highlights:

  • Russian national Nina Kutina and her two daughters were found in a forest cave in Karnataka on 9 July.
  • Police discovered them during a routine patrol near Ramteertha Hills, a tourist zone known for landslides and snakes.
  • Kutina says they were happy in nature, but had no valid documents and are now in a Bengaluru detention centre.
  • Authorities are working with the Russian embassy and the children’s Israeli father to arrange deportation.

Indian police are investigating the unusual case of a Russian woman, Nina Kutina, who was found living in a forest cave in southern Karnataka with her two young daughters. The trio was discovered on 9 July during a patrol in the Ramteertha Hills near Gokarna, a tourist zone bordering Goa. The area is prone to landslides and home to snakes and other wildlife.

Kutina, 40, who does not possess a valid visa, claimed that she had been living in the cave for about a week. However, authorities now believe she overstayed her business visa, which expired in 2017, and had been living in India off the grid for several years. She and her daughters, aged six and five, have been transferred to a detention centre for foreigners near Bengaluru and face deportation.
