BJP MLA Madal Virupakshappa has resigned as the chairman of the state-owned Karnataka Soaps and Detergents Limited. "I've no link to Lokayukta raid. This is a conspiracy against me and my family," he stated in resignation. This comes after his son Prashanth was allegedly caught taking ₹40-lakh bribe and later ₹6 crore cash was found at his home during raid.
