In a major twist to the Khar murder case, blood test reports of all the guests at the New Year’s party, including the accused, have come back negative for alcohol and narcotic substances. They had initially claimed that they were drunk and did not remember anything from the night of December 31 when a 19-year-old student was found dead with multiple injuries.

“We have received an analytical report of blood that is negative. We had given the blood samples of everyone, including both the accused, the victim and others present in the party, to find out if they were under the influence of alcohol or any narcotic substance,” a senior police officer told mid-day.
