Mayur is an 18 year-old boy living in Sawantwadi, a brilliant boy who passed his 12th exam
with 92% marks. Since he wanted to become an engineer from the beginning, he decided to
pursue his education from the Ratnagiri Engineering College (REC), considered the best in
the Konkan division. Mayur is the only son of his parents and since childhood he is shy and
introverted and doesn't have many friends. Since he is the only child, Mayur's parents have
been overprotective of him . Mayur persuades his parents to complete his own dream and
gets admitted to REC.
Mayur has to stay in the same room with both his roommates Varun and Sushant in the REC
Hostel. At first, Mayur finds it difficult to adjust to the new environment of the college, but
with the help and support of Studious roommates Varun and Sushant, Mayur begins to
enjoy the college life. In the very first month after the college starts, an introduction
program is organized by the Senior students for the new students, in which the new
students have to walk the ramp and introduce themselves. . Varun and Sushant freely
participate in the program with sportsmanlike attitude. But Mayur can't stand this activity
and shivered due to fear and denied to participate.
After the event, Varun and Sushant console Mayur and tell him that every new student has
to face such things in his college life, so he should not take such things to heart. But this
incident shakes Mayur completely and then he limits himself to lectures, library and his own
room. Next month, a freshers party is organized by a group named ‘Mast Boys’ which
consist of four senior students – Madan, Sadrique , Ajay & Trilok . All four of them who are
so famous keep harassing Mayur by calling him 'Mayuri' and hence taking into consideration
the past experience Mayur decides not to go to the party. Varun and Sushant try to
persuade him but Mayur prefers to stay in his room and study without listening to them.
Mast Boys consider Mayur's absence as their insult. Mayur does not let all these incidents
reach to his parents but his parents felt his discomfort from his phone conversation.
Meanwhile Mayur is ordered by the Mast boys to help the girl named by Tia in his class in
the exam, Because Tia is Trilok's girlfriend. Mayur is initially apprehensive, but later refuses
to help Tia and starts avoiding Mast Boys too. Mayur doesn't agree with Mast Boys despite
constant threats and finally complains to The Principal Mr. Shankaran against Mast Boys
but no action is taken from him. On the contrary Mr. Shankaran advises Mayur to ignore
Mast boys. In the meantime, Mayur starts liking Neeta, a girl from his class, but when Neeta
comes to know about this, Neeta warns Mayur in clear words that Mayur should not even
think about Neeta because she likes Madan.
In the very first Semester exam, Mayur fails in one subject, which shocks him and his
parents. When the reason for this is asked by the parents, Mayur only says that some students are harassing him but it is not a serious matter and further Mayur says that they
should not worry about Mayur & he is fine.
One day, when Mayur is alone in his room, the Mast boys come into his room and threaten
that Mayur must complete all their projects or else has to face dire consequences. Mayur is
not afraid of this threat so Trilok and Madan decide to implement their plan but this is
opposed by Ajay and Sadrique. Ajay and Sadrique starts convincing Trilok and Madan by
saying that plan was made only to scare Mayur but it was decided that plan will not to be
implemented. They try to persuade them by telling them that the plan was just to scare
Mayur but it went in vain and it turns into a huge debate. After this Ajay and Sadrique left
Mayur's room but Madan and Trilok lock Mayur's room from inside and with the use of
force they compel Mayur to get naked and make a video of him & threatened that if Mayur
doesn't complete their project, this video will be made viral everywhere through social
media.
10 days after this incident on 20th January 2022 Mayur is found hanging in his room. The
college administration claims that the incident is a case of suicide, but the parents file a
complaint with the police saying that it is a case of ragging.
