This octogenarian was suffering on footpaths before the Radhika old-age home in Gorai brought her in. But it seems her life hasn't improved. Locals staying in adjoining buildings have alleged that since April the home is dragging the woman by her hair to pull her to the terrace, where she is made to sleep in filth. The home, however, claims it is keeping her there because she's mentally unwell.
The locals informed mid-day about the condition the senior - named Anamika by the old age home - was being made to live in since April, through several videos. One of them showed her caretakers from the home making her sleep in the open terrace while it was raining. Another video shows her sleeping on a temporary plastic shed and a metal table, which is supposed be her bed. She is seen shouting in another video when she was getting drenched in a downpour on the terrace.
