UTTARA KANNADA DISTRICT, KARNATAKA, INDIA, JUL 12 – Nina Kutina overstayed her visa since 2017 and lived in a landslide-prone cave with her daughters for up to two weeks before police rescue and deportation steps began.

  • A 40-year-old Russian woman, Nina Kutina, and her two children were rescued from a cave in Uttara Kannada, India, after living there for nearly two weeks.
  • The Karnataka Police discovered them during a patrol on July 11, 2025, finding clothes hanging outside the cave.
  • Authorities are arranging for deportation back to Russia, after moving Kutina and her children to an ashram for safety due to landslide risks, as mentioned by Superintendent of Police M. Narayana.
  • Legal experts noted that the deportation process may take time and involve costs, stating that Kutina's children will not gain Indian citizenship because she was an illegal immigrant at their birth.
