The woman, found nude in Kishangarh village, Manimajra, on June 15, was sent to Ashreya after she was declared mentally retarded.

The police ruled out the possibility of her rape at Ashreya, saying the woman is about six weeks pregnant, while she was shifted to the home only three weeks ago.

“A team comprising two Inspectors, two Sub-Inspectors and one woman Inspector has been formed to inquire into the case. We have also hired a translator as the woman seems to be trying to converse in Oriya,” said Deputy Superintendent of Police (East) J S Cheema.

The woman says she is married and has two children, but is unable to remember her address, said police.

The residents of village Kishangarh, meanwhile, expressed ignorance when prodded by the police in the matter. Claiming they had seen the woman for the first time, local residents said she was “tearing her clothes and indulging in obscene acts”, following which the police was called in, said an officer.

The officer said the woman wrote in Hindi saying she is from Orissa.
