Tamil Nadu Expands Probe into Veeramani Child Sexual Abuse Case, Senior Cops Suspended
The investigation into granite businessman R Veeramani's alleged serial sexual abuse of minors in Tamil Nadu has expanded, with police scrutinizing earlier probe lapses and summoning senior officers. Two top IPS officials were placed on compulsory wait amid allegations of inaction despite prior complaints. DMK leader M.K. Stalin denied any government orders shielding Veeramani, criticizing rival TVK for politicizing the case. The special POCSO court rejected the initial closure report, prompting renewed inquiry and multiple arrests linked to the case.
