A lot, as Abhijit Alka Anil found out when a cop humiliated him over his name
When Abhijit Alka Anil (25) went to the local police station for the passport verification process, he had no idea his name would invite policemen's ridicule.
Abhijit, a resident of Mulund, had gone to the MHADA police station on November 8 with all his documents for verification.
After going through his documents, the concerned police officer smirked and asked him why he had 'Alka' as part of his name and why he didn't have a normal name with a surname at the end.
Recalled Abhijit, "I told him politely that 'Alka' was my mother's name, and I did not wish to include my surname in my name.
