The Greater Chennai Police have booked Gem Granites owner R. Veeramani on charges of abetting the suicide of a minor in 2004, police sources said on Tuesday (September 29, 2026).

Investigators also invoked provisions under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act against the octogenarian businessmen, his associate Shanti and others, the sources said.
