Saakamma was found in an old age home in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. She hails from Dananayakanakere village in Hospet taluk of Vijayanagara district.
A turning point in her life came when a probationary IPS officer from Hassan, Ravinandan BM, met her in the old age home a few days ago.
He shared a video of Saakamma with his friend Vijay Kumar in Bengaluru, who posted it on social media, tagging the Social Welfare Department.
Kumar, who conducts coaching classes for competitive exams, told TNIE that the management of the old age home informed Ravinandan, who works in Mandi district in Himachal Pradesh, that they have a woman inmate, who only spoke Kannada.
