A 25-year-old woman was locked in a room at her residence in Rajkot allegedly by her family for over six months. She was rescued from her house on Sadhuvasani road by an NGO called Saathi Seva Group and admitted to a hospital for treatment. However, the woman, identified as Alpa Sejpal, died during treatment.

RAJKOT: After the 70-day-long Covid-induced lockdown ended in June, people felt liberated after living among the four walls for over two months. But imagine, the condition of someone living in one room for around a decade, not even allowing sunlight to enter.
Startling as it may seem, this was how three siblings, two brothers and their sister, lived after completely withdrawing themselves from the society for 10 years. When members of Saathi Seva Group, a non-government organization (NGO), broke open their room in Rajkot’s Kisanpara area on Sunday, they were appalled at the sight.
