The school claims he interrupted the lesson, spoke in an exaggerated accent, and distracted students who were trying to learn.
Ontario Tech alleges YouTuber threw curry at students during classroom prank
Ontario Tech says the situation became more serious when Ayub 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 Ayub threw curry at students and even onto the ceiling of the lecture hall. School officials claim the stunt caused damage to university property and created tension in the classroom. According to the lawsuit, some students became upset because they wanted the lecture to continue, and the situation nearly turned into a physical confrontation.The school also says one professor found the experience very upsetting. Ontario Tech is now seeking at least $50,000 in punitive damages. It is also asking for money connected to the videos, arguing that Ayub benefited from content filmed on university property without permission.In November, a judge granted an injunction that prevents Ayub from entering the Ontario Tech campus. He was also ordered to pay $44,000 in costs.Ayub has denied the allegations. In his statement of defence, he said his videos are heavily edited, exaggerated, and meant to be comedy and satire. He also argued that the university is not entitled to any money earned from the content. According to Ayub, the YouTube channel is operated by an acquaintance in Pakistan and is not run for profit.The lawsuit comes as authorities and organizations increasingly take action against online creators whose pranks are accused of causing disruptions in public places.
