Relief washed over Srikanti Kumar Dutta today when he saw that his unique protest had paid off. From Srikanti Kumar "Kutta", the name on his ration card was finally corrected after several attempts.

Srikanti Kumar Dutta barked like a dog into a government vehicle on Saturday, forcing an official to pause and look at his papers, in a video that is viral. Two days later, he got what he wanted - a name-change.

Relief washed over Srikanti Kumar Dutta today when he saw that his unique protest had paid off. From Srikanti Kumar "Kutta", the name on his ration card was finally corrected after several attempts.

Srikanti Kumar Dutta's last name had been misspelt a variety of ways, from Mondal to Kranti, but the final straw was when it was misprinted as Srikanti Kumar "Kutta", which means dog in Hindi.

"How can I explain how insulted I felt? Only someone who goes through it can understand it. I had to go there not once, not twice but thrice. I am a qualified teacher but I have not yet been called for an interview," Mr Dutta told NDTV.
