Bengaluru: Facing corruption allegations, Karnataka Bhovi Development Corporation chairperson S Ravikumar submitted his resignation to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday.
Earlier this week, Ravikumar was purportedly caught on camera demanding bribes.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had directed him to step down.
In his resignation letter, Ravikumar stated that there was no corruption during his tenure that started in March last year. "I've been targeted because I came forward to address some undesirable matters and fix indiscipline that I detected. I seek investigation into and action against those who made a video to tarnish me," he said.
Ravikumar added that he was resigning due to difficulties in carrying out his responsibility as the chairperson "since I am a resident of Shivamogga".
