She had a son too: How Russian woman Nina Kutina lost her child before Karnataka's Gokarna cave rescue
The father of the two daughters found with the Russian woman is said to be an Israeli national, Dror Goldstein, who had filed a missing persons report in November last year.
Nina's son from a previous relationship died in October last year. According to the complaint filed by Goldstein, the cause of the boy's death was an accident, the Indian Express reported.
Nina Kutina also talked about her son's death while talking to reporters after authorities rescued her from the cave earlier this week. She said her son's death was the reason she overstayed her visa in India. According to her, the authorities found her old passport, and her current visa expired around the time of her son's death.
'After I had my son, big son, he died, and because it happened, I stayed a little more, but not so much, as they say," ANI quoted her as saying.
Dror Goldstein wants custody of his daughters
Dror Goldstein, an Israeli national, has expressed his desire to share custody of the kids with the Russian woman who was found living in a cave with her daughters a few days ago.
"My wish is to be close to my two daughters. I demand shared custody. I want to be able to meet them, to be close to them and to be a father. That's all," Goldstein told news agency PTI.
While her discovery from inside a cave stunned many, Nina Kutina has defended the move, saying her family 'loves nature' and that she has lived in forests of over twenty countries in the past fifteen years.
"My children were all born in different places. I delivered all of them myself, without hospitals or doctors, because I know how to do it. No one helped me, I did it alone,' she was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.

Delhi: ED raids against fake call centres duping US citizens
New Delhi, Aug 1 (PTI) The Enforcement Directorate has conducted searches in Delhi as part of a money laundering probe against a 'fake" call centre which allegedly duped US citizens by pitching sale of 'pirated" software, official sources said Friday. Three premises in Khanpur were raided around 10:30 pm on Thursday and the searches are still going on, they said. The action is being undertaken as per the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Preliminary investigation suggests, the sources said, that a call centre was being operated by some persons who misled citizens in countries like the US by pitching 'fictitious or pirated" software under the name of original software like Microsoft Windows. The agency suspects that funds worth Rs 100 crore have been received as foreign remittances over the past few years (2016-17 to 2024-25).
