Granite businessman Veeramani faces eighth POCSO case

A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has registered an eighth case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act against granite businessman Veeramani following a complaint from a minor girl. To date, 12 victims have come forward with allegations of sexual abuse involving Veeramani and his associates.

Authorities have issued Look Out Circulars (LOC) against five suspects to prevent them from fleeing the country. The investigation has led to the arrest of several individuals, including Veeramani, his associates Mahendra Simhan and Shanthi, an employee named Ganesan, a company manager named Sakthivel, and three drivers accused of transporting minors to locations where the abuse occurred.

Police also interrogated Veeramani’s daughter, Archana, regarding her father’s alleged criminal activities and financial transactions intended to evade legal action. The SIT is currently conducting interrogations at the Peravallur police station using seized digital evidence and documents.
