Overview
- A short video from Technofora shows Professor Himanshu K Patel seizing a student by the collar on stage during a Rajat Sood comedy set on Saturday, Sept. 19.
- The clip captures the student shouting a popular Golmaal 3 meme line and the professor warning he could “go up to any extent” before grabbing the student.
- The National Students’ Union of India has demanded an apology, called for an impartial inquiry and warned of protests if the university does not act.
- Dr. Patel told one outlet he apologised and that the matter was “sorted” after students allegedly touched his feet, but the university has not confirmed this or opened a formal probe.
- Journalists note the viral footage is brief and does not show what happened before the confrontation, raising questions about context, faculty conduct and campus accountability.
