He added, “I would like to say I gave it my all. I am very sorry to let down all the people that put their trust in me. I fought for a long time but today I gave up as I could not take any more pressure from one of the private equity partners forcing me to buy back shares''.He also alleged that he had been harassed by a former Income Tax official, who blocked his Mindtree deal.
