Karnataka Minister HY Meti, entangled in an alleged sex scandal, resigned today saying he wanted to prevent any embarrassment to his government but denying that he had done anything wrong. Mr Meti resigned soon after a video surfaced, apparently of him with a woman who had come to him for help. The video was released by RTI activist Rajashekar Mulali who alleges that he was threatened by the supporters of Mr Meti, the state Excise Minister.
