Andhra family jumps off bridge into Godavari, woman rescued, 3 missing: Police
Rescue teams launched a search operation in the Godavari to trace the missing family members. Efforts were underway to locate the missing persons
Four members of an Andhra Pradesh family jumped into the Godavari River on Saturday morning, with a woman being rescued while her husband and two children remain missing, police confirmed. The incident occurred at the Chinchinada bridge in West Godavari district's Yelamanchili mandal. Local fishermen noticed the family members jumping into the river and promptly rescued the 42-year-old woman.
However, her 45-year-old husband, 16-year-old son, and 12-year-old daughter were swept away by the river's currents. The police officer from Yelamanchili stated that the family had been in the grocery and milk business for their livelihood, and mounting debts and creditor pressure may have driven them to take such a tragic step.
The rescued woman was unconscious when she was brought ashore and was subsequently taken to Eluru government hospital for treatment. Police launched a search operation to locate the missing family members, but efforts were still ongoing as of evening.
