Banepa-Sri Maya (name changed) is perhaps one of the worst victims of social cruelty. After she was falsely accused of being HIV positive, she ended up in the streets and has been living there for the last 15 years. She is often seen wearing rags and sleeping on the pavement. Whenever people see her they stone and beat her and call her "AIDS patient". In fact she does not even have the disease. In an effort to find out the truth about Sri Maya, a local NGO took her for HIV testing and the result came out negative. But despite this, society still mistreats her and Sri Maya is under immense psychological trauma. Sri Maya hates the sight of men. There are reports her police officer husband abandoned her and after that even her parents refused to give her shelter. Recently, a group of youths beat her up and stole her few belongings. Every morning she goes to a nearby temple and collects rice and food offered by worshippers. Even the NGO that tested her didn't think it necessary to put her in a rehabilitation centre. Sri Maya continues to live in misery in Banepa's bus park.
