Viral Video: Professor Grabs Student By Collar At Comedian Rajat Sood Show
The viral video shows Professor H.K. Patel, identified as a Nirma University professor by Bhaskar English, reading something on stage alongside comedian Rajat Sood. During the event, a student from the audience shouted, “Jaldi kar, Panvel nikalna hai,” a dialogue from Golmaal 3. Following the remark, the professor called the student on stage.
The professor then asked the student, “Kya bol raha hai tu?” before grabbing him by the collar. While holding the student, he reportedly said, “I can go up to any extent. The day you dare to insult any faculty member of the Nirma University campus, you are gone forever.”
According to Bhaskar English, NSUI leader Vedantsingh Tomar later contacted Professor H.K. Patel. The professor reportedly justified his actions and described the incident as an internal university matter.
The viral video has sparked mixed reactions online, with users divided over the professor’s actions and the student’s remark. One user commented on Reddit, “Why do these old profs have such a fragile ego?” Another wrote, “How do these people dare get physically abusive?” Meanwhile, some users felt the student’s comment crossed a line. One person commented, “He didn't joke, he disrespected and clearly crossed the boundary.”
The incident unfolded during Technophora, a programme organised by students from Nirma University’s Electronics and Instrumentation (EI) department, which included a stand-up comedy show featuring Rajat Sood. Sood has not yet publicly addressed the incident. Nirma University has also reportedly refused to make any comment on the incident.
