A key aide to Gem Granites owner R. Veeramani, who allegedly facilitated money transfers to help the octogenarian businessman evade police action, has been arrested, police sources said on Sunday.

The Special Investigation Team (SIT), constituted to probe cases registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act against Veeramani and his associates, arrested Sakthivel, his manager. Investigators suspect that he played a key role in transferring funds to individuals who allegedly helped the businessman evade legal action, the sources said.

Veeramani is facing multiple allegations of sexual abuse of children and a case relating to abetment of suicide. Besides Veeramani, his associate Shanti, her husband Mahendra Simhan, and five others have been arrested and lodged in Puzhal Central Prison.
