Tirtha Khaniya still denies any wrongdoing. He said he forgot to include the original article in the reference. It would still have been plagiarism had he included it in the references. He copied para and para from the original article. The original author of the article complained to the journal. Because of his (Tirtha Khaniya's) connections, the published article is no longer available in the library. Most of the published copies were made to disappear (according to nepali news). See, what this guy says (he boasts about plagiarising it in his book):
‘एउटाको लेखलाई सन्दर्भका रूपमा उल्लेख नगर्नु गल्ती हो, तर मैले जसको लेख ल्याएँ, त्यो धेरै वर्ष अगाडि मेरै पुस्तकमा अर्कै सन्दर्भमा उल्लेख भएको छ,’
