If the bodies of  Harshitha (20) of Moodushedde and her brother Nikhil (18) were found on Tuesday evening itself hours after the tragedy, the bodies of Raviraj  (29) of Bajpe Kolambe Hogepadavu and Subhash (19) of Venoor  were traced today.
All the four were among the many relatives who had arrived for the wedding of the son of Sridhar Acharya of Kadandale Bariyadka.  Many of them had  been to the Shambhavi river bank on Tuesday evening to wash clothes. Some of them had stepped into the water at Thulemuger  unaware of the depth of the  river at that place.

Raviraj who  noticed the  youth drowning had rescued  almost everyone except the above three. Though he had again plunged into the water to save them, he was completely exhausted by then and eventually drowned.

The post-mortem of Harshitha and Subhash  has been completed and the bodies have been handed over to their families.
