What is the craziest story you heard in IIT Bombay?

There are many crazy stories about IIT Bombay. There is an interesting story from the madhouse which features an elephant and a horse. 

Once a few IIT students wanted to get an elephant for use in what used to be called EP (Entertain Program, which eventually became PAF). The details are a bit hazy, but the story goes something like this. After searching a lot they got a contact from a Tamil newspaper. This contact ultimately led them to Varadarajan Mudaliar, one of Mumbai’s most dreaded underground dons (in the 70s and 80s). He was actually quite amused by the whole situation and helped the students procure the elephant. 

Arun Kaul was an Aeronautical Engineering student at IIT Bombay. He used to deliberately skip Organic Chemistry until he was warned to be thrown out. 

Arun had found a sticky horse abandoned by his owner and would go to the lectures on horseback. He used to park it in the cycle stand outside the library. Once Ayaz Januja rode this horse to MB accompanied by a gang of 50 H4 punters who beat drums and bugles on the way. Finally, the horse was reclaimed by its owner. 

Arun Kaul also rode a horse on IITB streets, for the launch of the madhouse, almost 35 years after his time.
