[b][url="http://www.ndtv.com/article/list/cities/1/delhi"]New Delhi[/url]: [/b][color=#000000][font=Roboto, sans-serif][size=4]Best-selling novelist Chetan Bhagat faced nationwide anger on social media sites on Wednesday after tweeting that the country's plunging currency had been "raped".[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Roboto, sans-serif][size=4]This evening, the writer tweeted in response, "Really. I am trending now? Surely reforming me must be the most pressing issue. Economies crash everyday."[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Roboto, sans-serif][size=4]The controversy began with him posting this tweet - "The rupee is asking, is there no punishment for my rapists?"[/size][/font][/color]


[color=#000000][font=Roboto, sans-serif][size=4]The comments by Mr Bhagat, whose novels are popular with India's middle-class youth, came amid renewed outrage over violence against women after the gang-rape in Mumbai of a photographer last week.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Roboto, sans-serif][size=4]Twitter users slammed the former investment banker. "Making a fun of a serious offence rather an inhuman act & comparing with downfall of Rupee is NOT AT ALL funny," wrote one user.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Roboto, sans-serif][size=4]Mr Bhagat swiftly deleted his tweet as the uproar grew, calling it "harmless" and saying he had referred to rape as a "metaphor" for the rupee's troubles.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Roboto, sans-serif][size=4]The Mumbai attack rekindled memories of the fatal gang-rape of a 23-year-old student in New Delhi last December that sparked nationwide protests and brought to the surface anger about violence against women in India.[/size][/font][/color]
