The legal net has tightened further around Gem Granites chairperson R. Veeramani as law enforcement authorities officially registered a second POCSO case against him. The fresh charges stem directly from a formal statement and complaint filed by a local woman who asserted that her minor daughter was subjected to sexual abuse by the businessman. This development builds upon an expanding inquiry by the Chennai police, intensifying scrutiny over historical allegations involving the octogenarian industrialist.Why Was the Second Case Registered?The second criminal filing materialized as investigators dug deeper into multiple leads and expanded the scope of their examination. Following initial arrests and heightened public attention, additional victims and concerned family members stepped forward to report grievances that were previously suppressed or unaddressed. The complaint lodged by the mother provided specific details regarding the alleged exploitation of a minor, prompting the authorities to invoke stringent legal provisions under the POCSO framework to ensure a thorough and independent verification of the claims.Who Are the Key Figures and Authorities Involved?The primary accused in this sweeping legal controversy is R. Veeramani, the 84-year-old founder and chairman of Gem Granites. Alongside him, the investigation has previously targeted close associates and aides suspected of facilitating or concealing illicit activities. On the enforcement side, specialized law enforcement units, including an all-woman Special Investigation Team (SIT), have taken charge of unearthing evidence, examining financial trails, and reviewing prior handling of complaints by institutional authorities.What Lies Ahead in the Legal Proceedings?As judicial custody extensions and rigorous interrogations continue, the Special POCSO Court is monitoring the progression of both cases closely. Investigators are currently reviewing electronic data, financial records, and corroborative testimonies to map the full extent of the alleged offenses. Meanwhile, strict judicial oversight and media restrictions have been implemented to protect the identities of minor victims while ensuring that the pursuit of accountability remains transparent, lawful, and rigorous.also read : Gujarat DGP Office Gets 310 Complaints, 28 FIRs Filed
