Former Gem Granites employee arrested for withholding evidence in POCSO case

Authorities have taken into custody Ganeshan, a former employee of Gem Granites with over two decades of service at the company, in connection with his alleged concealment of evidence in an ongoing Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) case. Investigators say Ganeshan was in possession of a video that bears relevance to allegations against Veeramani, the proprietor of Gem Granites, but failed to produce or inform police of its existence during initial inquiries. The nature of the allegations involves serious charges under provisions designed to protect minors from sexual abuse. Police have not disclosed full details of the video's contents or the circumstances under which Ganeshan obtained it. The arrest underscores investigative concerns about the completeness of evidence gathering in the case and follows standard procedures requiring material witnesses and individuals with knowledge of potentially relevant material to cooperate with law enforcement authorities. Authorities are continuing their investigation into both the original allegations and the circumstances surrounding the withholding of evidence.
