‘Gem Granites’ Veeramani POCSO case: First charge sheet filed, Madras High Court told

On November 12, 2026, the Madras High Court heard the filing of the first charge sheet by the special investigation team (SIT) in the child sexual abuse case against Veeramani, founder of Gem Granites. The SPP informed the court that the charge sheet was filed in the special court for POCSO cases in Chennai on November 11, 2026.

The SIT aims to file multiple charge sheets in the coming days. Veeramani's daughter, Archana, moved the Madras High Court, alleging human rights violations by the SIT, claiming she was deboarded from a Singapore-bound airplane and picked up by the police without proper documentation. The judge adjourned a couple of writ petitions pending until November 30, 2026, and expressed satisfaction with the SIT's progress in the investigation.
