Indian-born-Nobel-winning scientist Venkatraman Ramakrishnan had claimed that he has been a victim of racism in UK. Ramakrishnan accused British mobile phone company O2 of racism after he found it difficult to buy an iPhone. Ramakrishnan said that he was forced to pay a three-month deposit of £325 when most applicants with good credit histories were not asked for a deposit. But the company says the discrepancy occurred because Ramakrishnan spelt his first name as 'Venki' in the form.
Ramakrishnan was in Chennai to inaugurate a science centre.
