The footage also showed cattle and stray dogs reacting strangely in her presence, suddenly fleeing as she approaches, adding to the mystery.
The woman was seen dressed in a salwar-kameez, and her face was unclear as it was covered with a long dupatta, adding to the mystery. Some locals have claimed that she did not react when called from inside the houses. She simply kept moving forward, ringing bells at different houses.
Additional Superintendent of Police Niranjan Sharma said that no formal complaints have been filed, but the station in charge has been instructed to increase patrolling.
“While no formal complaint has been lodged yet, the police are monitoring the situation to gather more information about the woman,” he said as reported by India Today.
