Part of situation: R. Veeramani POCSO investigation expands to eight cases (19 clusters)

DMK petitions SIT to summon CM Vijay and ministers over Veeramani case

POCSO case Gem Group DMK political allegations Special Investigation Team

The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has petitioned the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to summon Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay and Ministers Adhav Arjuna and C. T. R. Nirmal Kumar for questioning regarding the R. Veeramani POCSO case.

DMK treasurer and MP T. R. Baalu filed the complaint following public allegations made by the three leaders. Specifically, the petition notes that CM Vijay alleged the DMK was shielding Gem Group chairman R. Veeramani, while Minister Adhav Arjuna claimed the party improperly closed a previous case against him. Additionally, Law Minister Nirmal Kumar allegedly claimed the DMK received Rs 500 crore from Veeramani to protect him.

The DMK has dismissed these claims as defamatory. Baalu’s petition argues that if the leaders possess evidence supporting these statements, they have failed to provide it to investigators as required by law. Alternatively, the petition suggests the leaders may have obtained and leaked confidential information from the investigation’s case diary without authorization.
