She was discovered by sub-inspector Suresh Yadav while on routine patrol in Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary, close to the Nepal border, reports the Times of India.

Last year a gran from Bradford told how she had been brought up by monkeys in the jungle in South America after being ditched by child traffickers.

Another girl, Oxana Malaya, was rescued from a dog kennel after six years being raised by dogs - running on all fours and panting with her tongue out.

The story strikes incredible similarities with The Jungle Book, Rudyard Kipling's famous tale of young human boy Mowgli who is raised by wolves.
