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.
A Monkey Company
The companion was none other than a girl who must be 10 to 12 years old who seemed to be followed by a couple of monkeys, seemingly her parents. 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. Having found a girl with what appeared to be accompanied by monkey parents was truly an unbelievable sight but soon this girl was rescued from a nomadic family of monkeys.
More Ape-Like Behavior
The unfathomable behavior of the girl was trouble for everyone. Another doctor said that the language barrier had risen as a big hurdle in communicating with the girl. Neither the girl was understanding what the people were saying nor the doctors were understanding what she meant by her screams. However, the girl continued to make facial expressions and ape-like screeches.
A Chilling Revelation!
Though it was difficult, the doctors managed to examine the child physically and mentally and it turned out that the child was disabled both physically and mentally. She also had low blood pressure, lacked required hemoglobin and was hot with fever. Not just that, she also had worms in her stomach. The disclosure of her ailments fanned several speculations. And the one that seemed the most possible was equally disheartening. “
A Story That Amazed The World
People began to presume that due to her mental and physical disabilities, her family must have abandoned her in the forest. And the fact of her being a girl child would have played a big part in the plan of throwing her in the woods. The district chief forestry officer presumed “I think the family members of this girl had been aware that she is not able to speak, and they may have abandoned her near the forest road.” Imagine, the little girl, being all alone in the jungle that has many dangerous animals such as lion, wolf and many more. Everyone who heard her story had only one question, how did she withstand that imperiled forest for so many days?
The Shocking Secret
“She’s my daughter. She went missing last year and we did everything to find her.” said Ramzan. Ramzan and Nazma Shah the pair claimed the girl to be their lost daughter. They also narrated the incident of how they lost their daughter Alizah. According to them, they were buying medicines in a crowded market when Alizah wandered away from their sight. They tried to find her but failed. Having lost their daughter and unable to find her after countless efforts this couple decided that they will hide it as a Secret, no longer mentioning about it until the day they read about Ehsas.
