The young woman has been admitted to the Ajjarkad Government Hospital. According to locals, she was locked up in a room in the house and tortured  by her brother Nityananda and his wife Bhavani since the past three to four years.

Meanwhile, residents of the neighbourhood said  the family did not allow the girl to come outside and  had even made her starve.
