From Business Visa To Gokarna Cave: How Russian Woman And Her Children Ended Up Rescued
The intriguing journey of Nina Kutin, a Russian woman, and her two young daughters led them from a business visa in India to an unexpected residence in a cave on Gokarna Hill, from which police recently rescued them. The family is believed to have been living in the natural shelter near Ramatirtha for four to five days before their discovery by patrolling officers.
Kutin's initial arrival in India was in October 2016 on a business visa, during which she worked for a private company in Goa until April 2017. Despite her visa expiring, she did not return to Russia, opting instead to travel to Nepal before making her way back to Goa, where she had resided for the past year.
Approximately a week ago, Kutin arrived in Gokarna with her children. Drawn by the area's natural beauty and having previously noted the cave's location, she chose to make it their home. The Gokarna Police, led by Inspector Sridhar, discovered the family during routine patrols and, noting the dangerous conditions, including a recent landslide in the area, promptly rescued them.
Following their rescue, the Russian national and her children were initially provided shelter at a local NGO in Karwar. They are now at a women's care center and are slated for transfer to the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) in Bengaluru on Monday for further immigration procedures.

'All Space For Animals, None For Humans': SC Asks Petitioner Why He Doesn't Feed Strays At Home
The counsel said the petitioner was subjected to harassment and unable to feed community dogs in line with the Animal Birth Control Rules The Supreme Court on Tuesday questioned a petitioner, who alleged harassment over feeding of community dogs in Noida, why he does not feed the strays in his own house. A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta was hearing a plea related to a March 2025 order of the Allahabad High Court. 'Why don't you feed them in your own house? We should leave every lane, every road open for these large-hearted people? There is all space for these animals, no space for humans. Why don't you feed them in your own house? Nobody is stopping you," the bench told the petitioner's counsel. The counsel said the petitioner was subjected to harassment and unable to feed community dogs in line with the Animal Birth Control Rules. Rule 20 of the Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023, deals with feeding of community animals and puts onus on resident welfare association or apartment owner association or local body's representative of the local area to make necessary arrangements for feeding of community animals residing in the premises or that area. The Supreme Court, however, observed: 'We give you a suggestion to open a shelter in your own house. Feed every dog in the community in your own house." The petitioner's counsel claimed compliance with the rules and said the municipality was creating such places in Greater Noida but not in Noida. He said feeding points could be made at a place not frequented by people. The bench then tagged the plea with a separate pending one on a similar issue. WHAT DID THE HIGH COURT SAY? In the high court, the petitioner sought directions to the authorities to implement provisions of the rules with due care and caution keeping in view the provisions of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. 'While protection of street dogs would be warranted in accordance with the provisions of the applicable statute, at the same time, the authorities will have to bear in mind the concern of common man, such that their movement on streets are not hampered by attacks by these street dogs," the high court said. The HC, therefore, expected the state authorities to exhibit 'due sensitivity" to the concerns of the petitioner and the public. It said the observation was necessary because there were many instances of attacks by street dogs on people of late, which has resulted in loss of lives and grave inconvenience to pedestrians. It disposed of the plea with a direction to the authorities to ensure that concerns highlighted by the court were duly taken care of and appropriate measures taken to ensure protection of strays besides ensuring interest of people on the streets was not jeopardised.
