Gem Granites chairperson Veeramani's custody extended to October 9 in POCSO case
The industrialist appeared before a special court via video conference from Puzhal prison, where he is being held on security grounds.
The judicial custody of Gem Granites chairperson Veeramani has been extended until October 9 in connection with a case registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act. He was produced before POCSO Special Court Judge S. Padma through a video conference link from Puzhal prison, with authorities citing security concerns as the reason for not bringing him in person to court.
The case has drawn considerable political attention, with actor-turned-politician Vijay using the matter as a campaign issue, directing pointed criticism at the DMK government over its handling of the affair. Vijay's intervention has amplified public scrutiny of the case and placed additional pressure on the ruling party to demonstrate accountability in its response to the serious allegations against the prominent businessman.
