The Chennai police have registered a fresh case against ‘Gem Granites’ R. Veeramani under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, police sources said on Monday (September 28, 2026).

The second case was registered based on a complaint lodged by a woman alleging that her daughter, a minor, was sexually abused by the businessman. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has taken up probe in the case.

The police booked Veeramani (85) under the POCSO Act and are likely to formally arrest the granite baron, who is already lodged in the Puzhal prison in connection with a different POCSO Act case.

The police are investigating the statements given by three other women who claimed they were subjected to sexual abuse by the businessman in the past, sources added.
