Law enforcement authorities have initiated proceedings to secure custody of R. Veeramani, a businessman, in relation to a fresh case registered under the POCSO Act, according to police sources. The move represents the fifth case filed against him under the legislation that protects children from sexual abuse and exploitation.
The Special Investigation Team leading the inquiry is seeking to take the accused into custody for questioning and evidence gathering related to the latest complaint. Police sources indicated that the SIT will pursue custodial interrogation as part of its investigative process.
Details regarding the specific allegations in the current case remain under wraps as the investigation progresses. The accumulation of multiple POCSO cases against a single individual typically triggers heightened scrutiny and coordinated investigation efforts among law enforcement agencies.
The proceedings underscore ongoing efforts by authorities to investigate allegations against the accused across multiple complaints. Further developments in the case are expected as the investigation advances and judicial proceedings commence.
