Nisarg Shah, an Indian‑origin associate professor at the University of California, San Diego, is under investigation following a viral video exposing a vigilante sting by “People v. Preds.” The footage shows Shah confronted in a San Diego supermarket after allegedly arranging to meet a 14‑year‑old boy via the Grindr app for sex. He admitted on camera he “f***ed up” and said he “felt horrible,” calling his actions “abhorrent.” Police seized his phone but did not make an arrest, citing that civilian-led sting operations are not sanctioned. UC San Diego has pledged full cooperation with the ICAC task force investigating the case (PC: NDTV)
