A 50-year-old woman allegedly held captive and kept in horrific conditions by her brother for two years, was found lying in her own excreta in Delhi’s Rohini on Tuesday.
The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) Swati Maliwal said that they rescued the woman from her brother’s house. Adding to this, in a statement, Maliwal also stated that the woman was found on an open terrace at her brother’s house.
“50-year-old woman tortured, starved and held captive by own brother for 2 years. When we rescued her from terrace, she was lying in her excreta. She is unable to talk, walk and even recognise people,” DCW chief said on Twitter, adding that an FIR has been filed against the accused but he is yet to be arrested.

“ये कैसे हैवान भाई होते हैं जो अपनी ही बहन को जीते जी नर्क देते हैं! एक भाई ने अपनी 50 वर्ष की बहन को पिछले 2 साल से कैद कर रखा है। भूखा इतना तड़पाया की वो अपने ही कपड़ों में गन्दगी में पड़ी रही। DCW ने रेस्क्यू किया। कौन कह सकता है ये महिला 50 वर्ष की है! 90 साल से कम नही लगती।”

AAP Citizen Interaction Team Head Amit Mishra in his tweet said “I am deeply shocked at the inhuman manner in which the lady has been treated. While she is only 50 years old, she presently looks as though she is over 90 years of age. Her starvation is so extreme that she was unable to look after her basic needs….” @SwatiJaiHind”
“रोहिणी के एक घर में एक 50 वर्षीय महिला को उसी के सगे भाई और भाभी ने पिछले 2 वर्षों से बंदी बना रखा है। उस महिला के दूसरे भाई ने DCW हेल्पलाइन 181 पर कॉल कर इसकी जानकारी दी। DCW टीम ने उस महिला को पुलिस के साथ वहां से रेस्क्यू कराया। इस महिला की स्थिति अभी बहुत दयनीय है।”

The DCW was alerted to the situation when another brother of the woman called the DCW helpline number and informed them about the woman being held captive in the house. The DCW responded by immediately sending a team to the spot.

When the residents of the house refused to open the gate, the DCW enlisted help from the police to enter the house, reports news agency IANS. The team, however, entered the house by climbing the neighbour’s roof. They found the 50-year-old woman lying on her open terrace in “pathetic” conditions.
The woman reportedly told the DCW that she was only given a piece of bread once in four days for the past two years. Nobody was allowed to visit her for that time. The woman has been admitted to a local hospital.
“The condition of the lady was pathetic. She has been starving for several days and reduced to bones. She was kept on an open terrace which had no room or toilets and the terrace contained piles of the excreta of the woman,” the DCW said in a statement.
A DCW member told news agency IANS that an FIR has been registered at Rohini Sector 7 Police Station against the woman’s brother. Meanwhile, Maliwal urged citizens to report more such incidents so that more girls and women could be saved.
