Veeramani POCSO cases becomes bigger, driver Driver claims victims' bodies buried in house, cops dig up backyard of his house

Chennai, Nov 14 (UNI) The multiple POCSO cases against granite baron R.Veeramani is getting bigger and bigger with every passing day, with one of his arrested drivers making startling revelations that bodies of victims were buried at the backyard of the bizman's Chennai house.
After the driver, who was interrogated in police custody, made the allegations, the Special Investigation Team (SIR), probing the high-profile cases, have launched digging operations at the backyard of the tainted bizman's Royapettah residence since today morning.
The driver had claimed that bodies of many children were buried at the backyard at the residence of Veeramani, who had been charged for sexual assaulting several juvenile girls over a period of years.
The SIT action comes a day after Former Chennai Police Commissioner A.Arun and six others police officials were arraigned as accused in the first FIR registered against Veeramani in October 2025.
Their names were included in the FIR hours after the SIT filed the charge sheet in one of the case before the Special POCSO Court Judge S.Padma in Chennai.
So far nine people have been arrested in the case and Veeramani was arrested in three of the seven POCSO cases and a case for abetting the suicide of a minor who was subjected to sexual assault by him. He was presently detained under the Goondas Act along with his acquaintance Shanthi and her husband Mahendra Simkan.
Veeramani was arrested after the POCSO court rejected the closure report and ordered the police to probe the matter based on the FIR registered in October 2025. Cases were registered against Veeramani and others under Secs 7,8,15(1), and 21(1) of the POCSO Act, Sections 354(A), 354(C), 201, and 120(B) of IPC and Sections 66(E), and 67(B) of the IT Act and under the Prevention of SC/ST Atrocities Act.
