It's  hard  to judge or measure the degree of overlap, but I  see  exactly
what  you mean. Copied graphics, text and presentation. They used you as a
model site, but got disturbingly greedy.

http://www.calcuttayellowpages.com/

How  did you find this out? I know there are tools to detect this, but did
you identify them among search results pages that you target?

I  can't find the contact details on whois.net (the whole privacy malarkey
in ICANN), but I suggest you gather some proof and post a complaint to the
host. You have a para-site.
