An extremely shocking incident has come to light in Tamil Nadu as a police commissioner who also happens to be an IPS rank officer is finding himself in the middle of a controversial case.

A total of 7 police officers, including former Greater Chennai Police Commissioner A. Arun, Assistant Commissioner Yasmin and others have been named in the POCSO Act case FIR that was registered against accused Veeramani and two others in October 2025.

These police officers are accused of failing to conduct a proper inquiry during the investigation into the case. This comes shortly after the police had filed a closure report before the special court earlier this year.

The fact that former Chennai city Police Commissioner has been named in this case for not carrying out the investigation properly has shocked everyone.

This crime had originally happened during the DMK administration, and there was a huge public outcry back then. Now there is this incident of the former city Police Commissioner being accused in this FIR, which will mean that the entire investigation procedure will be recalled.

A few people are commenting that this is a power move from the Vijay government to unfold the actual controversy that had happened during the DMK administration earlier.

BACK STORY:

The controversy revolves around allegations of sexual abuse of minor girls by GEM Granites owner R Veeramani. The case first came to the Chennai Police’s attention in November 2024, when a Congress leader reportedly submitted a complaint along with video evidence to senior police officials. However, no FIR was registered until October 2025.

The police later filed a closure report citing a lack of sufficient evidence and their inability to identify the girl in the video. The Special POCSO Court rejected the closure report and ordered a fresh investigation, which eventually led to Veeramani’s arrest and the identification of victims. The latest development has brought the role of senior police officials under scrutiny, with allegations that the initial investigation was not properly conducted.
