This was reported by the British newspaper, The Guardian on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Sanctuary officials expressed suspicion that the girl was abandoned there by her relatives. This is contrary to the media reports that said the girl grew up in the wild with the animals. The officials also said that they think she is differently abled. They said that it\u2019s likely her parents left her in the fort. They speculate that the relatives didn\u2019t want to look after her anymore.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s said that the child\u2019s condition is \u201cstill under investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Differently abled<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is clear from first time view, if you see the girl, that she is only eight or nine years old, but her facial expressions show that she is disabled, not only mentally but also physically,\u201d said JP Singh, district chief forestry officer. \u201cI 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>As per Singh, the forest was under continuous CCTV camera surveillance. So, there\u2019s no way that the girl could have lived there for long without getting spotted, \u201cIf she was living with monkeys it would have been for a few days only, not for a long time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Once she was found by forest officials about two months back, she was moved to a district hospital in Bahraich. The chief medical officer, Dr.DK Singh of the hospital too is in compliance with the forestry officer\u2019s view. \u201cIn India, people do not prefer a female child and she is mentally not sound,\u201d he said. \u201cSo all the more [evidence] she was left there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the constable who found the girl, she was clothed and there weren\u2019t any monkeys around when he saved her. \u201cShe was moving around on her haunches,\u201d said Head Constable Sarvajeet Yadav. \u201cShe was wearing a frock and kachchha [knickers]. She was very weak and tried to move away on seeing us\u2026 There were no monkeys. She was not naked, and she wasn\u2019t using her hands to walk. I don\u2019t know how these stories are being spread.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Image credits: timesofindia.indiatimes.com<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doctors say that they don\u2019t believe that the girl who was found in the Motipur range of katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary in Uttar Pradesh was raised by monkeys.
