What happened during the event
The incident allegedly took place during ‘Technofora 2026’, a three-day event organised by students of the university’s Institute of Technology from September 18 to 20.
AHMEDABAD: A student’s alleged remark, “Jaldi kar, Panvel nikalna hai,” during a comedy show at Nirma University in Ahmedabad has led to a controversy after a video purportedly showing a professor grabbing the student’s collar went viral on social media. A professor and head of the electrical and instrumentation department was addressing students when the student shouted the remark, referring to a dialogue from the Bollywood film ‘Golmaal’, according to the claims surrounding the video. NSUI state vice president Vedant Tomar said, “The professor must apologise to the student and the university should conduct an impartial inquiry into the incident.
The professor then called the student on stage and allegedly grabbed him by the collar, as seen in the video. The professor is also heard threatening the student in the video, saying, “I can go to any extent. The day you dare to insult any faculty member of the Nirma University campus, you are gone forever. Bhavik Solanki, national coordinator of the NSUI, claimed in a statement that the student was subjected to inappropriate behaviour and also demanded an apology from the professor and an inquiry.
