Panaji: A team of social activists and police officers on Saturday rescued a woman, who was illegally confined to a room at Sakhali, Bicholim taluk, by her mother and brother for over 20 years. The action followed a complaint lodged by a para legal volunteer of the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA).
The woman, aged around 45 years, was admitted to the North Goa district hospital, Mapusa. The police said she was locked up while she was pursuing her BA degree.
