Forests are one of the mysterious creation of nature. You never know what you would find there. A bunch of woodcutters were working in the Katraniaghat forest of Uttar Pradesh in the northern part of India. The men were busy doing their work when they saw something very strange. It was an unusual sight! They remained rooted to their spot for a while as they could not understand what to do. Little did they know they were in for a big surprise that was going to change their life forever.

Strangest Sight To Behold

The woodcutters saw a bunch of monkeys cowling! Yeah, you are right, it was not strange at all, but what made their eye bulge out was their odd companion. The companion was no monkey or any other animal. Then what was it?  It was surprising that the monkeys instead of chasing it away had included into their family. The mystery was not that the woodcutters found her, the mystery was how she came in that jungle and when you will find out you would be left gasping for breath.

The Odd Company

The companion was none other than a girl who must be 10 to 12 years old. Instead of walking, she was crawling just like other monkeys. The woodcutters immediately reported the incident to the authorities. On hearing the unbelievable news, the police rushed to the sight only to get more dumbfounded. When they tried to rescue the girl something unexpected happened.

Another Jungle Book?

Does the story of this girl not remind you of Mowgli of The Jungle Book? Mowgli is the lead character in the book written by Rudyard Kipling. He is a feral kid who lives in isolation in a jungle with animals. Coincidentally, Mowgli also belonged to a jungle in India. Mowgli appeared for the first time in a short story authored by Kipling named In The Rukh in 1893. He is raised by a pack of Wolves. The character soon became a household name and we now have so many movies on it. We all considered it a part of our imagination until the time this “Mowgli girl” came to the scene who was living with a bunch of monkeys. Her story will amaze you!

What To Do?

In order to rescue the girl, police needed to get closer to her. So, they tried to approach her but astonishingly, got stopped by the monkeys along with the girl herself. Not only that, the monkeys screeched at the rescuers to protect the girl from them. They also surrounded the girl so that no one could go closer. The monkeys even attacked an officer when the girl screamed at him. It was completely an unexpected situation for the officers. It seemed the girl did not need to be rescued in the first place.

Not An  Easy Feat

However, after hours of efforts, the police finally managed to take the girl away from monkeys. They took the girl to their vehicle and sped away. And the monkeys kept chasing them as if the police had taken one of their children away. A local police officer commented, “When they tried to rescue the girl, they were chased away by the monkeys.” Though the girl was rescued, a big question was still looming over the head of the officers, how she got into the jungle and where is her family? The answers to all these questions were more shocking than the current situation. Click on the next slide to know what was she doing in the jungle?
