So far, 10 young girls have filed complaints against R Veeramani, resulting in a total of seven cases being registered under the POCSO Act. He has already been arrested in four of these cases under the stringent Goondas Act.
After completing an initial three-day police custody, the police sought and received court permission for an additional two days of custodial interrogation. This allowed the SIT to thoroughly question him inside the prison facility from morning until evening and record his statement.
