He enters an empty room and hides there.
He, then notice Ravikanth sitting there in the room!

The senior is struck with shock, as he has seen a ghost

Senior: A ghost!!, help me!! someone
Please, I am sorry. Please forgive me.
Suddenly everyone enters the room and unveil the
situation. The protagonist didnt die!
3rd Senior: It was all a part of the plan. Me,
Ravikanth,&Tanveer devised this plan together, in order
to make you realise your mistakes, and never do these
mistakes again. You only think about yourself, at least
think what worse things he experienced because of you.
Protagonist: We did not say anything does not mean
that we dont feel anything. Ragging is a plague to our
society, people like you think it a tradition to be
followed. But what good is a tradition when it is
damaging lives of people.
_____________________________________________
Narrator: As of 2016, there have been 28 deaths due to

It is a long standing disease that we have to kill.
Please, neither do ragging or promote it.
Fight against it.
