Mentally Ill Children Lock Up Mother for 2.5 Years in Bhopal, She is Rescued
Imagine a grandma who was very sick and couldn't get out of bed.
Her grown-up son and daughter, who weren't feeling well in their minds, decided to keep her in one room in their house.
They did this for a very long time, about two and a half years!
Luckily, their neighbors noticed something was wrong because they couldn't see her and there was a bad smell.
The neighbors called the police, who came and broke down the door.
They found the grandma very weak and took her to the hospital to get better.
The police are now helping to make sure she gets the care she needs.
