WATCH: Man Barks Like Dog In Protest As His Name Gets Misspelt As “Kutta” In Document

Kolkata: The video of a man pushing a stack of documents out the window of an Executive Magistrate’s vehicle while barking like a dog has recently gone viral on social media. The persistent yowls and barking don’t stop until the official notices the paper. The incident occurred at the state government’s “Duarey Sarkar” (government at the doorstep) camp at Bengal’s Bankura.

The individual complained that there were three printing errors in his name on his ration card. The third time, Srikanti Kumar “Kutta” appeared in place of Srikanti Kumar Dutta. In Hindi, the word “Kutta” means “dog,” and Mr. Dutta claimed that after his pleas went unanswered, he came up with this creative protest to force a change.

The Bankura district administration has not yet responded to the situation.

He had reportedly applied thrice already to rectify his name on the ration card but in vain.

“The first time, they mentioned my name as Srikanta Mondal. I am not Mondal. I went to Duarey Sarkar and applied for rectification. Then they made my name Srikanto Dutta instead of Srikanti Kumar Dutta. I applied to Duarey Sarkar camp again… On the 11th, I applied again and when I downloaded it, I noticed my name was changed to Srikanti Kumar Kutta. When I saw this, I felt mentally harassed. I went to the Duarey Sarkar camp again yesterday,” he said.

He ran after a senior official he saw at the camp, but the interaction did not turn out as planned, according to Mr. Dutta.

“I displayed my ration card to him. I requested that he read it. The Joint BDO (Block Development Officer) did not provide me with any responses, though. He sped off. He fled, but why? What was it that he feared? How frequently would a regular Joe like myself visit the Duarey Sarkar camp? To visit here, we must take a day off from work “And Mr. Dutta.

After that, he performed the trick. He claimed that the authorities have now promised to get his name rectified in a couple of days.
