That eventful night - Part 1

(This is some part of my upcoming novel and all characters in this small story are fictitious)

It was almost 12 in night. The much hyped techno-cultural festival was just ended. One of the main security incharge of that techno-cultural festival, Manduwa of BIHARAT group was just back from his duties and was sitting in his 3rd floor room in EKALAVYA bhawan with other Biharat Group members Chacha, Golua, Takla, Charlie, Lungi, Laund Boss, RD Boss, Doctor, PLD and Malik. They were happy that how they managed to get college girls *NOT* allowed in the rock show which was the last event and held late in the night. Manduwa shared his security related experiences during the rock show and info about some small fights which broke out during rock show between few of their batch mates from different college groups. All together they were happy and were feeling satisfied with their effort to convince college authorities and city police to not let girls come to the show. It was a big victory for them (why? Read that in another blog). They were also feeling relaxed because this entire college event had been very controversial and disturbing for them and now it was all over. Around 12 PM in night, Sangwan of electrical batch came to meet them. He was not from BIHARAT gang. He was neither a good friend nor a rival for BIHARAT ies. He told Manduwa that he wants to thrash MOTU who was staying at 2nd floor. Looked like Sangwan had an altercation with MOTU during rock show to get near the stage where the performance was going on and because MOTU was a security committee member and had good friendship with few of BIHARAT group members so he felt safe and he fought with Sangwan and threatened him for bad consequences. Sangwan felt humiliated and he grouped some of his close friends to go to MOTU’s room and teach him a lesson. He came to Manduwa’s room to ask whether BIHARAT will interfere if Sangwan and his friends will thrash MOTU. Takla (who was friend of MOTU) quickly advised all of BIHARAT members. He told them that in last 6 months he too realized that MOTU is exploiting his proximity with some of the BIHARAT group members and trying to do DADAGIRI with other students of their batch. He expressed that its good time to get him thrashed and later take him for first aid if MOTU gets injured. Deal was done. Sangwan left that place. Few of BIHARAT members came to the 3rd floor lobby from where stairs were going to 2nd and 1st floor. Jhadu Khan and BHOOT (also BIHARAT guys) too joined. As expected within 5 minutes of time, in calm hostel night, all kind of fighting noises with extra ordinary abusive language heard. MOTU was beaten badly by Sangwan and gang. After 5 minutes or so Biharat members waiting on 3rd floor first made sure that everything is back to normal and then one of them (BHOOT) went to 2nd floor and visited MOTU. He was totally thrashed and his face had swollen like bread. He was badly injured and was having pain all over his body. Bhoot asked him to come with him to 3rd floor. Biharat members expressed their unawareness of entire stuff and queried that why MOTU didn’t called for any help from them when all this happened. Everyone was sympathetic towards MOTU. Perhaps MOTU had got a hint that it was already in BIHARAT’s knowledge that Sangwan and co is planning to beat him. He didn’t answer anything. JHADU offered his help and took Jinwa’s bike to take MOTU to a nearby medical polyclinic for first aid. Others again assembled in Manduwa’s room and were laughing and discussing further about that entire episode……………..
