Meti was appointed Excise Minister, but after a CD was published showing him engaging in a sexual act, he resigned on 7 December 2016. On 11 December 2016, a woman in a televised interview accused Meti of having sought sexual favours in return for a transfer, but said she was not the woman in the sex video. On 12 December, RTI activist Rajashekar Mulali complained to the police of receiving death threats from the minister and his followers for saying he had a sex CD on him. Meti described it as a political conspiracy to malign him, claiming he was not involved in any immoral act with any woman, and challenged Mulali to release the tape. The original video was reported missing during the investigation. On 24 May 2017, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Karnataka Police, which investigated the case gave him "clean chit" and reported that the video was doctored. On 18 August 2017, a woman claiming that she was the one in the sex video filed a complaint of kidnapping and rape against Meti.
