He said, "My friends were assaulted by seniors after we opposed the ragging. I got six stitches on my head. The senior students were in a drunken state when the midnight incident occurred. They barged into my room and hit me hard for opposing ragging." Further, speaking to Tribune India, he said, "A hostel warden also supported the seniors instead of helping us."
