Vijayawada: The Swarna Bar case in which six persons lost their lives after consuming liquor in Vijayawada on December 7 last year has taken a new twist as the Forensic Sciences Laboratory at Hyderabad in its report confirmed that extracts of cyanide along with ethyl alcohol were detected in the bodies of the six victims.

The Forensic Sciences Laboratory at Hyderabad, which submitted its report to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court in Vijayawada after the examination of the bodies of the six deceased persons, said that the cyanide was found in the bodies.
