Police Investigate Child Abuse Allegations Against Gem Granites Owner Veeramani
The Tamil Nadu police are investigating allegations of child sexual abuse involving Gem Granites owner R. Veeramani and associates Shanthi and Mahendra Simhan. A Congress leader, M.P.

Police have conducted searches at multiple locations linked to Veeramani and arrested the accused, who remain in judicial custody as investigations continue, including probes into related financial transactions.
