Gurugram: Due to extreme fear of Covid, Woman locks herself, her minor son in their house for three years; Rescued

New Delhi: A 33-year-old woman, along with her minor son, kept herself ‘imprisoned’ in a rented house for three years in Chakarpur, Gurgaon, Haryana. He did this to avoid the corona epidemic. According to the police, the incident came to light on Tuesday when a team of officials brought both of them out of the house. The police team, health department and child welfare department officials broke open the main door and took out Munmun Manjhi and her 10-year-old son. Later the mother and son were taken to the civil hospital in Gurugram.

According to Civil Surgeon Gurugram, Dr. Virendra Yadav, “The woman has some psychological problems. Both have been referred to PGI, Rohtak, where they have been admitted to the psychiatric ward for treatment.” The matter came to light on February 17 when Munmun’s husband Sujan Manjhi contacted Assistant Sub-Inspector Praveen Kumar, posted at Chakarpur police post. Sujan is an engineer in a private company.

According to the police, while ‘imprisoning’ herself for three years with her son, the woman did not even allow her husband, who had gone to office after the relaxation of lockdown restrictions earlier in 2020, to come home. Husband Sujan spent the first few days with friends and relatives and when he failed to pacify his wife, she started living in another rented house in the same area. According to the husband, video calls were the only way to keep in touch with his wife and son during this period. During this, he used to pay the house rent and electricity bill.

He used to collect his son’s school fees, buy groceries and vegetables and used to leave ration bags outside the main door of his wife’s house. At the age of 7, the woman imprisoned the child in the house, now the child is about 10 years old. For three years, the child’s studies, sports and friends were all missed. The child’s mother used to cut his and her hair at home. Even the garbage of the house was not thrown out for 3 years, garbage, cut hair and dirt kept accumulating in the same room where the child lived.

The people of the neighborhood did not even know that mother and son were imprisoned in the house. At home, the child used to make paintings on the walls and used to study with pencil on the walls only. After the rescue, the mother-son duo was rushed to the civil hospital.
