American Woman Found Chained in Indian Forest Admits She Did It Herself

Lalita Kayi, initially claiming her husband left her to die, now says she was hallucinating and distressed over her visa and finances.

Lalita Kayi was discovered emaciated and chained to a tree in Maharashtra by a cow herder on July 27.
Initially, Kayi claimed her husband chained her, but she later admitted to doing it herself due to hallucinations.
Police and doctors confirmed Kayi was suffering from severe mental distress, leading her to shackle herself.
Kayi is currently receiving treatment in a psychiatric facility, where her condition is reported to be improving.
Her family in the U.S. has been contacted, and she is in touch with them.
