Already traumatised by a number of tragic deaths in her family - a young woman suffering from mental trauma has been returned to the home village in Uttar Pradish that she had wandered away from five months ago in apparent confusion and grief. According to media reports, the woman, Usha Devi, had stopped talking coherently shortly before her disappearance. Usha had been troubled for most of her life by a series of deaths in her family, beginning with the incident in which her father was hit by a passing train - a death that she witnessed. Relatives told police that the recent death of her husband this year preceded her disappearance by several weeks. Like her father, her husband was fatally struck by a train in an incident she also witnessed.

The hams had been told by police that the woman had been found in the care of a shelter home for her mental trauma where she was taken after having wandered on the streets of West Bengal for some time.

The hams connected with their contacts in Hindi-speaking regions and across several states, reaching out through numerous amateur radio networks until relatives could be located. Usha recognised family members during a video call arranged by the club.

The club's secretary, Ambarish Nag Biswas, VU2FJA told Newsline in a text message that Usha returned to her village on Friday the 12th of June.
