Afterwards, she was admitted to the district hospital. “The girl was found two months back, eats and walks like animals, and runs away on seeing humans,” said Chief Medical Officer DK Singh to a newspaper. “She has marks on her skin, looks like she has lived with animals for quite some time. Now she is better and healthy, showing improvement.”

One of the newspaper reported, the doctors in charge of her care said she gets scared by humans and often gets violent. They said the minor has been taught to walk but she frequently uses her hands and legs to get around. She can neither speak nor write.
