"I have sent my resignation letter to the president. I mentioned personal difficulties as the reason for resignation in the letter," Uddin told the newspaper.
He was appointed the country's attorney-general in 2020, the report added.
Protests began in Dhaka and across Bangladesh after the announcement of a multi-day "non-cooperation action" with authorities by the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement on Sunday.
