A video reportedly shows a professor grabbing a student by the collar during a university event, prompting the National Students’ Union of India to seek an apology. The incident allegedly occurred during Technofora 2026, held from September 18 to 20, according to The Hindu.

The National Students’ Union of India has sought an apology after a video appeared to show a professor grabbing a student by the collar during a college event. The incident allegedly took place at Technofora 2026, a three-day event organised by students of the university’s Institute of Technology, The Hindu reported. The event was scheduled from September 18 to 20.

The supplied material does not identify the university, the professor or the student involved. It also does not establish what led to the confrontation, whether the video captures the full incident, or whether the university has opened an inquiry. The account describes the incident as alleged rather than confirmed.

NSUI’s reported demand is for an apology. The available information does not state whether the professor or the university has responded, or whether any disciplinary action has been taken.
