Chetan Bhagat accused of plagiarism for his book 'One Indian Girl'

Renowned Indian writer Chetan Bhagat was accused of plagiarism for his latest bestseller ‘One Indian Girl’. Bengaluru-based author Anvita Bajpai sued Bhagat and has claimed that ‘One Indian Girl’ is an an intelligent copy of her story 'Drawing Parallels' from the book 'Life, Odds & Ends'. "He has copied my short story completely. Everything, right from the beginning to the end, including how the female lead in my story meets her boyfriends and how she traverses through different lovers and how she breaks up. Even the part where she travels has been lifted by Bhagat," says Bajpai. 'Life, Odds & Ends' was published in 2014, and Bajpai claims to have given Bhagat an autographed copy when she met him at the Bangalore Literature Festival the same year.
