Veeramani case: two IPS officers shunted out, placed on compulsory wait
A. Arun, ADGP, Tamil Nadu Police Academy, and N. Kannan, Commissioner of Police, Coimbatore, were at the helm of the Chennai Police Commissionerate when a complaint accusing Gem Granites owner R. Veeramani of indulging in predatory sexual behaviour targetting minor girls first surfaced
Senior IPS officer A. Arun, formerly the Chennai Police Commissioner and currently the ADGP of the Tamil Nadu Police Academy, has been transferred to the Vacancy Reserve (VR) without posting. This move has been made amid controversy surrounding the inaction of city police in a POCSO Act complaint involving R. Veeramani, the owner of Gem Granites.
Coimbatore Commissioner N. Kannan has also been transferred to VR. Ranjan Kumar, President of the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee's Scheduled Caste Department, had filed a complaint to the Chennai police in November 2024 against Veeramani and his associate Shanti, but no action was taken. Both Arun, now serving as Additional DGP/Director at the Tamil Nadu Police Academy, and Kannan, IGP/Commissioner of Police for Coimbatore City, have been placed under compulsory wait, as per a government order.
