Vishnu was questioned for about 12 hours yesterday and 10 hours today. Vishnu was Accused No.9 in the case and went to underground for several days. Couple of days ago, he reappeared in Vijayawada and the court instructed him to attend to SIT investigation, refusing him anticipatory bail.

The former Congress MLA tried to escape from the case alleging that some one poisoned the water in the bar and it is no case of liquor adulteration. But the investigation report clearly said liquor was adulterated using Methyl Alcohol so that customers get more intoxication. Excess usage of Methyl Alcohol on that fateful day killed eight.
