The woman was found chained in Sonurli village, some 450 kilometres from Mumbai on Saturday, after a shepherd heard her cries and alerted the police.
The US woman who was found tied to a tree with an iron chain in a forest in Maharashtra's Sindhudurg district is not able to record her statement with the police as she is weak and has not eaten anything in a couple of days, officials said on Monday.
She has been identified as Lalita Kayi Kumar, 50, and was found chained in Sonurli village, some 450 kilometres from the state capital Mumbai on Saturday, after a shepherd heard her cries and alerted the police.
A photocopy of her US passport as well as other documents, including an Aadhaar card with a Tamil Nadu address, was recovered from her.
"The woman is not in a position to give her statement. She is weak as she has not eaten anything for a couple of days and also as the area experienced heavy rains," an official said.
