Annapurna Sahu, a 43 year old woman was rescued after officials said she had been locked for more than 25 years. Her family members in Orissa

The woman was confined in an abandoned outhouse - only a few feet high and without proper flooring. The family said she was not mistreated and was given food and water regularly.
The woman has been living in inhumane conditions in the outhouse as per authorities; in the town of Dhenkanal, 100km (62 miles) from state capital, Bhubaneswar.
She was reportedly naked when she was found. Her brother, Ganeswar Sahu, said she had to be segregated from the rest of the family after she started abusing others.
