What is the ‘Gem Granites’ Veeramani POCSO Act case all about? | Explained
Veeramani had rented a bungalow at Teynampet in Chennai. Over a period of years, multiple minor girls were taken to the house where they were allegedly lured with gifts and sexually abused by the granite baron.
Sachin Vaze, a former police officer, was granted bail on September 29, 2026, in connection with the Antilia bomb scare and the murder of Mansukh Hiran. However, the Bombay High Court stayed the bail order on September 30, 2026, pending a hearing on October 7. The stay was due to the National Investigation Agency's (NIA) appeal, which challenges Vaze's acts in 2021 as terrorist.
The court's decision was influenced by the absence of Vaze's legal representation on the day of the hearing. If the High Court dismisses the NIA's appeal, Vaze's bail will be reinstated; if the appeal is allowed, the bail order will be set aside.
