Charge sheets in 2 of 8 cases against granite baron Veeramani to be filed this week

Two of the eight child sex abuse cases against Veeramani are set to have their charge sheets filed this week, according to a Tamil Nadu Police officer. The alleged abuse was brought to light in October 2025 following the submission of a video to the Central Crime Branch in Chennai. Veeramani, along with his alleged accomplices and six others, has been arrested, with a Special Investigation Team probing the cases and recording 12 statements from the alleged victims.

A car used to transport the girls has been secured, and police have released a mobile number for further information. A test identification parade was held at the prison, where one of the victims identified Veeramani. Veeramani was arrested after a local court rejected a police closure report in February, despite attempts to hush up the case.
