The police have filed charges against Veeramani and several co‑accused under the Goondas Act for allegedly abusing minors.
Police officials have lodged charges against Veeramani and a number of co‑accused under the Goondas Act in connection with a case involving alleged sexual abuse of minors. The filing, reported by NDTV, indicates that the accused are suspected of exploiting children, prompting a swift legal response.
The Goondas Act, a preventive detention law traditionally used against habitual offenders, has been invoked to facilitate the arrest and possible detention of the accused while the investigation proceeds. Authorities say the act allows for stricter bail conditions given the seriousness of the alleged crimes.
Investigators continue to gather evidence and interview witnesses. The accused are expected to appear before the court in the coming days, where the prosecution will seek custody under the provisions of the Goondas Act pending trial.
