  "account": "A video has emerged showing a professor from Nirma University grabbing a student by the collar during a stand-up comedy show at the university's 'Technofora 2026' event. The incident occurred on September 18-20, when comedian Rajat Sood invited a student to the stage and allegedly grabbed him, as captured in the viral video. The student allegedly shouted a Bollywood film line, which reportedly provoked the professor. In the video, the professor can be heard threatening the student, stating he would go to any extent and that insulting a faculty member at Nirma University would result in severe consequences. Bhavik Solanki, the national coordinator of the National Students Union of India (NSUI), has demanded an apology from the professor and an inquiry into the matter. If his demands are not met, the NSUI threatens to hold a protest. The private university has not yet commented on the incident.",
