M.P. Ranjan Kumar, president of the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee's Scheduled Caste Department, stated on Friday that he had previously informed senior police officials about matters concerning Veeramani. Kumar said he submitted a formal complaint at the Chennai Police Commissionerate on November 22, 2024, requesting action against Veeramani and his associate Shanthi.
The Congress leader's statement suggests the issue has been a matter of concern for the party for an extended period. Kumar claimed to have engaged with police hierarchy at an earlier stage, indicating the allegations were not newly surfaced.
The submission of the November 2024 complaint marks an escalation in the Congress party's efforts to address the matter through official channels. The specific nature of allegations against Veeramani and Shanthi has not been detailed in the official complaint submission.
The development reflects ongoing tensions within Tamil Nadu's political sphere and indicates the Congress party's commitment to pursuing the case through formal law enforcement procedures. The police response to the complaint has not yet been made public.
