Authorities say a breakthrough has been achieved in the POCSO case against granite magnate Veeramani after police confirmed the identity of the survivor.
Police investigators have announced a significant development in the case filed under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act against prominent granite businessman Veeramani. The breakthrough comes after officials were able to confirm the identity of the survivor, a step that is expected to strengthen the prosecution's case.
According to statements from the investigating team, the survivor was located through a series of inquiries and forensic verification. The identification allows authorities to corroborate earlier evidence and move forward with formal charges against the accused.
The case, which has drawn public attention due to the high‑profile status of the alleged offender, remains under active investigation. Police have indicated that further interrogation of witnesses and collection of additional material evidence will continue as the legal process proceeds.
Legal experts note that a confirmed survivor’s testimony is crucial under the POCSO framework, as it can substantiate the charge sheet and influence court proceedings. The investigation is being handled by the state crime branch, which has pledged a thorough and transparent inquiry.
The development is being closely monitored by child‑rights groups, who have urged swift justice and called for stronger safeguards to protect vulnerable children in industrial and rural settings.
