With the successful acquisition of Patni by iGATE and Phaneesh Murthy appointed as the CEO of Patni, the life of Murthy might have changed. But what he cannot part of with is the controversy of his lifetime, that was full of blackmail, sex, stalking, threats, oppression, hurt feelings and revenge. He resigned from his post in June 2002, saying that he had to fight a lawsuit filed against him in the U.S., which was filed by his former secretary, Rekha Maximovitch.
