For here in Katra where helived they rush into their houses locking all the doors locking all the windows crying 'Ghost! Ghost! Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!' at the sight of him. He was in prison you see where he was hospitalised. Rumours were rife: he'sfallen ill; he's been moved to another town; he's dead; cremated. Ganeshi his cousin's wife performed the last rites so his spirit could rest. 'Imagine our surprise when he turned up alive ' she said 'We thought he was dead.'Poor Raju. Poor Raju Raju Raghuvanshi; he's technically a ghost. 'Now I have to prove I'm alive. N.V. Vayangankar Chief of Police will help me. I have property you see a few acres of land. I know their game. They shall notbeat me. I say to them: 'But can't you see that my feet are the right way round? If I was a spirit or a ghost they'd turn backwards'. I was not gone long now I don’t exist.''
