Chetan Bhagat sues Bihar scholar for using big and tough words such as ‘plagiarism’ in his legal notice

Mr. Bhagat, you kind of had it coming... Satire.

Patna: After a Bihar based English scholar, Dr. Birbal Jha, accused and slapped a legal notice on Chetan Bhagat for stealing the plot of his latest book, ‘Half Girlfriend’ from his published book, Chetan Bhagat has sued Dr. Jha back for using big words such as ‘plagiarism’ in his statement and legal notice. Bhagat, however, refused to confirm or deny whether he had lifted the plot of his book from Dr. Jha’s book claiming that “All life is an inspiration for me.”

“Of course I know what ‘plagiarism’ means, thank you,” Bhagat quipped, in a telephonic interview with this Faking News reporter. “I have access to the internet and several free dictionary sites. But what about the masses? What about the poor, naked, hungry people from Bihar who do not have access to the internet and thus cannot understand what the word means? It is cruel for these people, no?”

“I want to be known for my simple down to earth literature that even a chai-wallah can read and enjoy,” Bhagat concluded. When pointed out that the chai-wallah might be illiterate, Bhagat replied, “Doesn’t matter… he can watch the movie that the book will inevitably be converted into, later.”
