Police Investigate Tamil Nadu Granite Baron's Child Abuse Case with Early Complaint Claims
The child sexual abuse case against Tamil Nadu granite businessman R. Veeramani involves allegations of abuse of minor girls, with police arresting Veeramani and associates in August 2026. A Congress leader, M.P. Ranjan Kumar, claims he submitted video evidence and a complaint to Chennai Police in November 2024, earlier than the police's reported receipt in October 2025. The Central Crime Branch has conducted raids at multiple locations linked to Veeramani, seizing digital evidence. Investigations continue amid accusations of delayed police action and political controversy.
