TN central crime branch registers another Pocso case against R Veeramani
Veeramani was already booked in a Pocso case, along with his accomplice: Ganeshan, Shanthi and Mahandra Simhan
Chennai police have registered a new case against businessman R. Veeramani, known as 'Gem Granite', under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The second case was filed based on a complaint from a woman alleging her daughter, a minor, was sexually abused by the 85-year-old businessman. Veeramani, who is already held in Puzhal prison for a different POCSO Act case, faces arrest for the alleged offense.
The Central Crime Branch (CCB) of the Chennai police is probing statements from four other women who claim they suffered sexual abuse from Veeramani in the past. Additionally, an investigation is underway following a complaint lodged by a woman whose daughter, who was also abused by Veeramani, committed suicide many years ago. Despite initially reporting the incident to local police, no action was taken, according to the sources.
For those struggling with suicidal thoughts, the state's health helpline (104) and Sneha’s suicide prevention helpline (044-2464 0050) are available for assistance.
