NSUI activists staged a protest at Nirma University in Ahmedabad, demanding the suspension of Professor Dr H K Patel over a viral video that allegedly shows him grabbing a student by the collar during a university programme.
According to the reports, Patel was addressing a recent programme when he objected to a comment made by a student. The professor allegedly called the student on stage and grabbed him by the collar in front of the audience. The video of the incident later surfaced on social media, triggering a reaction among students and parents.
During the protest, NSUI members criticised the university administration for considering the formation of a committee instead of taking immediate action against the professor.
An NSUI spokesperson demanded Patel’s immediate suspension, alleging that the university administration was delaying action despite the video being available.
NSUI has also warned of further protests on the university campus if strict action is not taken against the professor. The student organisation said it would continue its agitation until its demand for suspension is addressed.
