Chennai:
Speak up, “Stalin Sir”, Tamil Nadu chief Minister Vijay urged DMK chief and former chief minister MK Stalin and accused him of colluding with the AIADMK even in the horrendous case of abuse of girls by granite baron R Veeramani.
The case centres on Gem Granites Chairman R Veeramani, who was arrested along with Shanti and her husband Mahendra Simhan in August in connection with allegations of sexual abuse of minor girls.
The case came to the police’s attention in October 2025 under the previous DMK regime after a child-rights activist according to police approached the Anti-Vice Squad with a pen drive containing video footage purportedly showing a minor girl being sexually assaulted.
Though a complaint had been lodged during the previous DMK regime, the entire crime and its history was buried, Vijay alleged.
