My jaw dropped at the wildness of the allegation.
“What makes you think so?” I asked.
“You shouldn’t have done it,” he insisted angrily, and walked away.
I read between the lines and chuckled to myself.
He hasn’t spoken to me since.

It was the day after a story of mine appeared in the papers, in which one character, Mr. Puri, who seemed a picture of innocence, turned out to be a crook. As I was taking my morning walk, I was accosted by a Mr. Das, who said, “Tell me frankly, Mr. Puri’s based on me, isn’t he?”
My jaw dropped at the wildness of the allegation. “What makes you think so?” I asked. “You shouldn’t have done it,” he insisted angrily, and walked away. I read between the lines and chuckled to myself. He hasn’t spoken to me since.

Fictional justice for this crook. Lucky he changed the name.
