An 84-year-old prominent businessman from Tamil Nadu named R Veeramani and two of his associates, Shanthi and Mahendra Simhan, were arrested by the Central Crime Branch's (CCB) anti-vice squad for allegedly sexually assaulting a minor girl. The case was registered on October 6, 2025, after a volunteer submitted a pen drive containing alleged footage of the crime to the police. According to the CCB, the video showed Veeramani, who owns a granite business, committing the act in the bedroom of his associate Shanthi's home in Chennai's Teynampet area. Further investigation revealed that multiple young girls were brought to the house where similar incidents occurred, and evidence such as photos of victims was recovered during searches of the suspects' residences and offices. Veeramani was a notable figure in the Indian natural stone industry, having held leadership roles in various trade organizations.
