Law enforcement officials arrested an associate identified as a central link in the Gem Granites case on Tuesday. The arrest follows investigations into allegations involving the elderly businessman, who has faced mounting legal scrutiny in recent weeks.
This marks the seventh case registered under the POCSO Act in connection with the investigation. The charges relate to serious offences allegedly committed against minors. Authorities have been systematically building their case through multiple complaints and witness testimonies.
The arrested individual is believed to have played a facilitating role in the alleged crimes. Investigators indicated that the person's cooperation is expected to yield further leads in the ongoing probe. The case has drawn significant attention due to the high-profile nature of those involved and the severity of allegations.
Court proceedings regarding bail and further custody have been scheduled. Authorities confirmed that investigations are continuing on multiple fronts, with additional arrests not ruled out. The case represents a continued crackdown on organised exploitation of minors in the region.
