An all-woman Special Investigation Team has been assigned to lead the investigation under the POCSO Act in the case involving Gem Granites and Veeramani.
The government has appointed an all-woman Special Investigation Team (SIT) to take over the probe under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act in the case involving Gem Granites and Veeramani.
The move comes after concerns were raised about the impartiality and sensitivity required for the investigation. The SIT will review all evidence, interview witnesses and submit its findings to the court.
The case centers on allegations that a child was assaulted at a site linked to Gem Granites, with Veeramani identified as a key figure in the incident. The investigation is still underway.
Officials say the new SIT will work closely with the police and the judiciary to ensure a thorough and transparent inquiry.
