When they reached the Ravulapalem bridge, Suresh pushed Suhasi into the Godavari river under the pretext of taking a photo. He also threw the one-year-old child, Jersey, into the river, and pushed Keertana from the top of the bridge. However, Keertana managed to hold on to a cable on the bridge and remained in place.
