In a devastating turn of events, Dr. Ananyarao, a young physician from Hyderabad, tragically lost her life during a leisure trip to Hampi, Karnataka. While enjoying a swim with friends in the Tungabhadra River, she was carried away by the river's powerful currents after leaping from a rock 25 feet high. This sorrowful incident has deeply affected her loved ones and shocked the wider community.

During their visit to Hampi, which began on Tuesday, Dr. Ananyarao and her companions were staying in a guesthouse located in Sanapur village. The following afternoon, they decided to take a swim in the Tungabhadra River, a decision that led to unforeseen tragedy. Eyewitnesses recounted that after Dr. Ananyarao jumped into the river from a rocky outcrop, she was immediately overwhelmed by the strong flow of the river, rendering her unable to surface.

Efforts to save Dr. Ananyarao were swiftly initiated by her friends and nearby locals, but, regrettably, these attempts were in vain. The challenging terrain of the river, characterized by its flow through rocky caves, presented significant obstacles to the rescue operation. Specialized divers and local police were involved in a strenuous search effort that lasted for hours.

Ultimately, the search team recovered Dr. Ananyarao's body on Thursday morning, bringing a tragic closure to the rescue mission. The loss of Dr. Ananyarao has left an indelible mark on her family and friends, plunging them into mourning. Adding to the heartbreak, a video capturing the moment of Dr. Ananyarao's fatal jump, filmed by one of her friends, has been widely circulated on social media, drawing attention to the perilous incident.
