Hi friends, I am facing a problem right now in my current company. There is a lot of politics in my company. They prefer flattery over actual work. Recently, I was blamed for deleting some code, and an investigation is underway.
During this period, I resigned from the company and am serving a one-month notice period as per my appointment letter, but they are not accepting my resignation. They are saying that until the investigation is ongoing, they cannot accept it.
What should I do since I am unable to work, and they are not letting me leave by not accepting my resignation? I am feeling a lot of stress these days, even though I have an offer from another company. Please advise...

If you are not at fault, don't worry. In the interim, talk to the new company about whether they will allow you to join without a relieving letter from the previous company and request 2-3 months to submit the relieving letter. Bear in mind that nobody can force you to work without your willingness.

Like Pon suggested, try to take the maximum time possible from the new company. Next, check out how much time the investigation would take in the present company. You haven't mentioned the timeframes (when did the situation happen and when did you resign, etc.)—sometimes investigations of this sort can be done in a week or so, and sometimes it does take more time. Since you are a technical person, you ought to figure out if they are speaking the truth or playing politics (one possibility could be that some code was indeed deleted by someone and it's being put onto your head).
Rather than talking in general, check out WHICH code they mean—since you were involved in the project, you should be able to put your finger on the approximate area they are talking about. The best way to handle such situations is to talk technically rather than going by just the rules.
