Elamanchili (Andhra Pradesh), Sep 6 (PTI) A family of four reportedly jumped into the Godavari River from a bridge here, police said.

Search operations on Sunday led to the tracing of three bodies, while a woman was rescued by local fishermen, a police official said.

The incident occurred around 6.15 am on Saturday, the official said.

“The family jumped into the Godavari River from the bridge at Chinchinada. Three bodies have since been traced during search operations, while a woman was rescued by local fishermen,” the official told PTI.

The rescued woman was identified as Namburi Padmini (42), who was shifted to the Government Hospital in Razole, he said.

Police said two motorcycles were found at the scene and, based on their registration numbers, identified the family as residents of Tanuku town.

The three deceased were identified as Padmini’s husband, Namburi Srinivas (45), and their two minor children, police said.
