Shivamogga: Mother and three children jump into Tunga river; locals rescue two, two others still missing
Police have shifted the woman and her rescued infant son to McGann Hospital for treatment.
On Monday night, a woman and her three children reportedly leapt into the Tunga river from a railway bridge in Shivamogga. Local residents, Naveen and Dadapeer, spotted the incident and promptly rescued the woman and her 11-month-old son from the water. Two other children remain missing. Police and fire officials rushed to the scene, but the rescue efforts halted due to darkness.
The search for the missing children resumed on Tuesday morning. The woman, believed to be from Chitradurga, took the drastic step alongside her three children — a son and two daughters — but the motive behind their decision remains unclear. Those grappling with distress or suicidal thoughts are advised to contact the State helpline 104 or the toll-free number 14416.
