  "account": "Ahmedabad: Following the viral video of Nirma University professor holding a student by the collar, both parties have issued apologies to one another, according to sources. The university has initiated an investigation into the matter, forming a three-member committee consisting of deans and directors that will submit its findings within a week. The incident allegedly occurred during the \"Technofora 2026\" event, a three-day gathering organized by Nirma University Institute of Technology students from September 18 to 20. After a stand-up comedy act, Professor H K Patel asked the student to join the stage after he made a movie reference, prompting the professor to hold the student and warn him about potential consequences for insulting faculty members at the university.",
