A YouTuber is in legal trouble after a Canadian university accused him of disrupting classes and throwing curry at students during a prank video. Ontario Technical University has filed a lawsuit against content creator Vic Ayoub, claiming he entered lecture halls without permission and harassed students and teachers while filming videos for his YouTube channel.According to reports, the university says Ayoub participated in several prank activities on its Oshawa campus. One of the most talked about incidents occurred when he allegedly brought a portable stove into the classroom and cooked curry during a lecture. The school claims he interrupted the lesson, spoke with an exaggerated accent, and distracted students who were trying to learn.
Ontario Tech claims the YouTuber threw curry at students during a classroom prank
Ontario Tech says the situation became more serious when Ayoub returned to campus in October 2025. The university claims he entered another lecture hall and announced that he would be teaching his own class. During the prank, he allegedly started a game called “Catch the curry.”
The university says Ayoub threw curry at students and even on the ceiling of the lecture hall. School officials claim the stunt caused damage to university property and sparked tension in the classroom. According to the lawsuit, some students became upset because they wanted the lecture to continue, and the situation almost turned into a physical confrontation.The school also says one professor found the experience extremely disturbing.
Ontario Tech is now seeking at least $50,000 in punitive damages. It is also demanding money related to the videos, arguing that Ayoub profited from content that was filmed on university property without permission.In November, a judge issued an injunction preventing Ayoub from entering the Ontario Tech campus. He was also ordered to pay costs of $44,000.Ayoub denied these accusations. In his defense statement, he said that his videos were heavily edited, exaggerated and intended as comedy and satire. He also said the university was not entitled to any money it earned from the content. According to Ayoub, the YouTube channel is run by an acquaintance in Pakistan and does not aim for profit.The lawsuit comes as authorities and organizations take increasing action against online content creators whose pranks are accused of causing disturbances in public spaces.
