Police Search Premises Linked to Veeramani in Child Sexual Abuse Case
The Central Crime Branch conducted searches at five locations linked to Gem Granites chairman R. Veeramani, arrested in a child sexual abuse case involving minors. Veeramani and associates Shanthi and Mahendra Simhan were taken into custody in August 2026. A Tamil Nadu Congress leader, M.P. Ranjan Kumar, claims he reported the abuse with video evidence to police in 2024, earlier than the police's stated receipt of a tip-off in 2025. Investigations continue with seized digital evidence and further arrests.
