Tamil Nadu Expands Probe into Veeramani Sexual Abuse Case, Police Officers Scrutinized
The investigation into mining baron R Veeramani's sexual abuse case has expanded to scrutinize senior police officers' earlier handling, including summons to key investigators and compulsory wait orders for top officials. Authorities are probing potential internal lapses and financial links, following revelations that police were alerted about the crimes in 2024 but delayed action. The case reopened after a court rejected a closure report, leading to arrests and raids. A Look Out Circular has also been issued against an associate linked to financial transactions.
