It’s the story that is so horrific, and yet so miraculous.
A young girl has been found in a semi-conscious state buried alive in a cane field in India’s Sitapur district.
Young Tanu – whose age has been reported as both five and seven in the coverage of the event – alleges that she was throttled by her aunt and uncle before the pair buried her alive.
She was found in the field by a farmer who heard the girl’s cries. To his shock, as he approaches the sounds, he realised the soil was moving as Tanu tried to dig herself out from beneath the ground.
Via Mail Online:
According to the neighbours, nobody had seen the victim and her mother since August 20. The house was found to be locked.
As news of the girl’s rescue flashed onto TV channels, the victim’s maternal grandmother Rajrani approached the police.
‘Renu came back to us after a few months of her marriage and stayed with us after that. About 15 days ago, Renu left our house along with Tanu without informing anyone,’ said Rajrani.
The girl has been placed in the custody of her grandmother.

Here’s hoping that she never has to make contact with her aunt and uncle again.

Poor, poor little girl. I just hop that her mother is alright.
When will women and girls be valued and not see them as "disposable"?
is it ok to thank god tanu is alive?
i hope she will have a much better life now.
Sure, we all are entitled to give than whatever or whoever we want.
I just wonder how many women and little girls just disappear without a trace - so sad.
Or maybe be angry at God for letting it happen in the first place?
