Madras High Court Allows SIT to Continue Probe in Veeramani POCSO Case
The Madras High Court has declined requests to transfer the investigation of the child sexual abuse case involving granite baron R. Veeramani to the CBI, emphasizing that the recently formed Special Investigation Team (SIT) should be allowed time to probe. The court adjourned a DMK plea seeking inquiry into the Chief Minister and ministers, noting the sensitive nature of the case. Bail pleas for two accused facilitators were rejected amid ongoing investigations. The case arose after video evidence surfaced in October 2025, with police continuing their inquiry.
