New POCSO Case Filed Against R Veeramani Amid Ongoing Investigation
A fresh complaint has been filed against Tamil Nadu granite businessman R Veeramani under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, alleging sexual abuse of a minor girl who later died by suicide. The new case is being investigated by an all-woman Special Investigation Team (SIT), which is also probing other allegations from multiple women. Veeramani, already in custody for a previous POCSO case, faces expanded legal scrutiny as police appeal for public information to aid the investigation.
