The 86-year-old governor of a southern Indian state has resigned after a television news channel broadcast a tape allegedly showing him in bed with three women.

Narain Dutt Tiwari's office denounced the tape as fabricated.

Mr Tiwari, a veteran leader of the governing Congress party in Andhra Pradesh state, sent his letter of resignation to the President on Saturday, citing health reasons, an official said.

The scandal hit as Andhra Pradesh was engulfed by social unrest. Outrage over a delay in creating a new state erupted into violent demonstrations in several cities last week. On Saturday supporters of a new state vowed to step up protests unless the Government issued a clear timetable. New Delhi had said the partition of Andhra Pradesh to create the proposed new state of Telangana needed more consultation.

Pressure mounted on Mr Tiwari to quit after the tape allegedly showing him in bed with three women was broadcast on Friday, prompting political opponents and women's rights groups to hold street protests in Hyderabad, the state capital.

A statement issued on Friday by Aryendra Sharma, an aide to the Governor, said ''the news channel report is fabricated, false and malicious to tarnish the image of the Governor''.

ABN Andhra Jyoti News, which broadcast the tape, said it was made in a sting operation. It said the three women were from his northern home state of Uttarakhand, and were brought to Hyderabad by another woman whom the governor had promised a mining lease in return for sex.

The channel said the woman decided to expose Mr Tiwari after he failed to keep his promise.

A court stopped the channel from broadcasting the video again later on Friday after Mr Sharma filed a petition saying the video was likely to demean and denigrate his office.

Mr Tiwari had earlier served as the top elected official of the northern states of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand and as a federal minister.
