Anonymous
A video circulating online appears to show Nirma University professor Himanshu Patel confronting a student during comedian Rajat Sood’s performance at the university’s Technofora 2026 festival in Ahmedabad. After the student called out a line from the film *Golmaal 3*, Patel reportedly called him onstage, grabbed his collar and warned that students who insult faculty could be expelled. The incident prompted debate over student discipline and whether Patel’s response was excessive. Gujarat’s NSUI demanded an apology and an impartial inquiry and warned it may protest; the university had not responded, and Patel declined to discuss the incident.
