Gem Granites chairman R Veeramani and two associates detained under Goondas Act
The Greater Chennai Police have invoked the Tamil Nadu Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Bootleggers, Drug Offenders, Goondas, Immoral Traffic Offenders, Forest Offenders, Sand Offenders, Slum-grabbers and Video Pirates Act (Goondas Act) against R Veeramani and his two associates, M Shanthi and Mahendra Simhan, who are currently in custody in connection with the POCSO case.
Explanation in simple terms
R Veeramani, the chairman of Gem Granites, and two of his associates have been detained under the Goondas Act following allegations of sexual assault against a minor girl in Chennai. This law allows the government to hold individuals in custody for an extended period without bail to prevent them from committing further crimes. By using this act, authorities are ensuring the accused remain in jail while the investigation into these serious charges continues.
