His work was heavily promoted by LensCulture.
In a May 2017 article in PetaPixel, Datta was exposed for plagiarising elements of an image by American photographer Mary Ellen Mark for a photo project on prostitution in Calcutta in 2013.
Similar evidence emerged from other sources.
Datta himself gave an interview to TIME Magazine, admitting these and other allegations, including the appropriation of images for use on social media originally taken by photographer Daniele Volpe in Guatemala.
The incident led to Datta's work being taken down by a number of photojournalism websites while grants and awards were withdrawn by bodies such as the Pulitzer Center, Visura, Magnum Photos and the Alexia Foundation.
Datta's profile on LensCulture was suspended "due to ethical concerns".
Donald Weber described Datta's conduct as "utterly mind-blowing idiocy".
Datta's breach of photojournalistic ethics kicked off a round of questioning and soul-searching in the photojournalism community at large.
Datta admitted to staging an image while a finalist on the Sky Arts television series "Master of Photography".
Having been sent to photograph the daily life of Sami people tribesmen living in a frigid environment, Datta presented to the judges a nighttime image of a man with a torchlight on his head facing away from the camera and illuminating the landscape.
The judges assumed that the figure was one of the tribesman Datta had been assigned to document.
However, in response to a question from judge Caroline Hunter of The Guardian, Datta explained that his approach to the assignment had in fact become more interpretive, that the subject was himself and that he had staged the image to capture the northern lights.
Another judge, photographer Darcy Padilla, commented that Datta had "led us to believe [his style] was more reportage" and that he "could have done some more thinking".
He nevertheless progressed to the final round and was runner-up in the competition.
Datta said sorry about the doctored images in story "China's Most Polluted Cities" and the site China file decided remove the photoessay from their site.
