Israeli partner of Russian woman found in Karnataka cave makes shocking disclosures, says 'for 8 years...,' in Goa...
New Delhi: Many important revelations have been made about the Russian woman, Nina Kutina alias Mohi, found in a cave in Karnataka with her two daughters, Preya (6) and Ama (4). Her relationship started with an Israeli man Dror Goldstein which has now turned into a custody dispute and legal confrontation. According to a complaint lodged with the Goa Police, the matter is related to the care, education and future of two minor daughters. They were recently recovered from a cave in the hills of Ramatirtha near Gokarna in Karnataka. Who is Nina and who is Dror? Nina Kutina alias Mohi is 40 years old while Dror Goldstein, a resident of Israel, is 38 years old. The two met in 2017 at Arambol Beach in Goa. Goldstein said in his complaint that they both fell in love and started living together. Their romance lasted for about eight years. When did the dispute start? Goldstein claimed that Nina used to harass him emotionally and kept demanding money. When both were planning to go to Israel, Nina was deported to Russia due to documentation problems. Nina told through email in June 2018 that she was pregnant. In 2019, the first daughter was born in Ukraine. In 2020, the second daughter was born in Goa. Dror alleges that Nina did not send the daughters to school and did not believe in any formal education. He claimed that whenever he came to India to meet the daughters, Nina kept a distance from him and suddenly went missing. Where was Nina hiding with two minor daughters? To recall, Nina and her two daughters were found hiding in a cave in the Ramatirtha hills of Gokarna. There was no electricity, no mobile network, and both the girls were not allowed to meet other children. Dror has now demanded custody of the children and urged that the girls not be sent back to Russia. What does police say? Dror said in his complaint, 'Nina does not allow me to meet the daughters and tries to keep them away from me. I am worried about the physical and mental condition of the children. The girls are being kept away from social contact and their education is being neglected.' A police officer said, 'The complaint was lodged, but Goldstein was called to confirm the facts. He did not appear.' The legal process of joint custody will depend on diplomatic and judicial agreements between India, Russia and Israel. If Nina is proved guilty of illegally hiding the children, legal action is possible against her.

Fom Israel to Tumakuru: Dad waits to reunite with daughters found in cave in Karnataka
When Dror Goldstein, an Israeli musician, boarded a flight to India last week, his luggage carried more than just essentials — it held toys and small gifts for his two young daughters, Prema, 6, and Ama, 4. Rushing to India after hearing the unexpected and unsettling news that his daughters had been found living in a remote cave near Gokarna, alongside their mother, Nina Kutina, a Russian national, Dror hoped for a reunion. But instead of meeting them, he finds himself navigating legal hurdles and procedural barriers. It was a minor landslide on July 11 at Ramatirtha Hills of Gokarna that led local police to the cave. As part of a routine safety inspection, officers stumbled upon Nina and her daughters, who had been living in isolation for nearly three weeks. "I had no idea they were living in a cave… By the time I got there, they had already left," said Dror, who rushed to India after hearing the news.

After a brief trip to Nepal in 2018 to secure an exit permit, she returned and chose a life of seclusion in the forests of Gokarna, away from the structures of conventional living. Dror and Nina had met in Goa in 2017 and lived together for several years in a relationship that eventually ended. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Despite their separation, Dror maintained regular contact with the children, travelling to India every six months to see them. "Nina always had a deep love for nature. That's why she chose to live in such a remote place. I respect her choices, but I worry for the children's safety," Dror said. After the authorities intervened, Nina and her daughters were moved from Gokarna to a Foreigners Detention Centre (FDC) in Dibburu, Tumakuru. Hearing this, Dror travelled there immediately, carrying gifts for his daughters. But the reunion he hoped for did not happen. "I came all the way from Israel, but they wouldn't let me meet my daughters without official permission from the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO)," Dror said, standing outside the centre, visibly disappointed. Officials at the detention centre confirmed that visits are not allowed without the required paperwork, even for family members. Dror has now travelled to Bengaluru to begin the legal process for visitation rights. When asked whether he plans to take his daughters back to Israel, Dror's answer reflected both his personal turmoil and the complexities of the situation. "I would love to, but the situation back home is complicated because of the war. More importantly, I will never take them without their mother's consent. Whatever she decides, I'll respect," he said. For now, Dror waits in Bengaluru, hoping for permission to see his children and perhaps find a middle ground between his own concerns and Nina's unconventional life choices.
