Narrative
You are a group of students coming from Sitapur and going to Shital Nagar to attend the farewell
function of your seniors, being held at 5 pm. You are required to return back to your college at Sitapur
by 8 pm to participate in the practice session of an inter-college cultural competition. On the way to
Shital Nagar you decided to have a cup of tea and hence stopped at the tea stall. Your driver took the
opportunity to replace one of the rear wheels as he suspects it to be having a puncture. You suddenly
saw that the kerosene stove in the tea stall exploded and the cook got serious burn injuries and fell
unconscious. Just when you were reacting to the situation, an old man approached to tell you that
some miscreants are planning to disrupt the political rally to be addressed by the local MLA in
Songaon at 4 pm which may result in bloodshed and that the same needs to be prevented. As you
discuss the plan to tackle the new situation, an old lady approaches you for help in getting her cattle
removed from the nearby pond or else they may drown and they are her only source of livelihood.
