Tamil Nadu’s “Epstein”? | R Veeramani POCSO case explained: Pen drive to decades-old allegations

How did a POCSO case that began with a pen drive and an unidentified girl turn into a much wider investigation involving multiple alleged survivors, allegations dating back to the 1980s, and a possible financial trail?

In this video, we break down the R. Veeramani case — the 2025 complaint, the police report seeking to drop further action, the Special POCSO Court’s intervention, the tracing of the survivor, the arrest of Veeramani and two associates, the latest allegations, the financial angle, and Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay’s order for a deeper probe.

We also explain the competing claims made by the TVK government and the DMK over how the original case was handled.
