According to reports, the man attempted to change his surname several times with the assistance of the Bankura administration but was unsuccessful each time. Srikanti told ANI that he had applied for his surname to be corrected on his ration card three times.

“On third time my name was written as Srikanti Kutta instead of Srikanti Dutta. I was mentally disturbed by this,” he was quoted as saying.

He further stated that on Friday, he had gone to apply for a correction again and “on seeing joint BDO there, I started acting like a dog in front of him”. “How many times will common people like us leave work & go to apply for correction?” Srikanta asked.
