The Delhi Police rescued a mother-daughter duo who had allegedly locked themselves up at their house four years ago in southwest Delhi's Mahavir Enclave area on Wednesday. They are apparently suffering from depression.
After a neighbour made a PCR call informing police that 42-year-old Kalavati and her daughter Deepa, 20, had locked themselves up in a first-floor room of their house, they were rescued and admitted to a hospital, said a senior police officer.
Police are questioning the woman's father-in-law who had been staying with them in the house, he said. The officer added that door of their room was open and the women were malnourished. They were also living under unhygienic conditions, he added.
The two are apparently suffering from a mental illness and hallucinations, he said.
Mishra told police that his wife passed away in 2000 and his two sons were killed in a road accident four years ago. He claimed that Kalavati and Deepa had locked themselves up in the room since then.
