When locals inquired, "Why did you jump?" the husband replied, "I didn’t jump—my wife pushed me."
A video of the rescue has surfaced and is making the rounds on social media. In the video, the man can be seen holding onto the rope and coming towards the shore and climbing up, while 3–4 young men are seen pulling the rope from the other side.The man has been identified as Tatappa.
The bridge over the Krishna River is located in Kadlur village in Raichur district, which shares a border with Telangana’s Narayanpet district.
Tatappa alleged that his wife had deliberately pushed him into the river, while his wife claimed it was an accident. As the couple continued to argue at the spot, locals intervened, calmed them down, and called their parents. Eventually, both were taken back to their homes.
Family Dispute After Marriage
The couple got married in April 2025. Within three months of their marriage, a rift developed between them, and they have been in conflict ever since. Tatappa alleged that ongoing disputes were the reason behind this incident.
