R Veeramani
Pointing out that he made a representation in this regard to the SIT on Sept 27, Balu said, “My representation also raised the issue as to the source of the information forming the basis of the statements made by the persons and whether they had access to any investigation-related material which was not legitimately to be made available to them. CHENNAI: DMK treasurer and Lok Sabha member T R Baalu has moved the Madras high court seeking a direction to the special investigation team (SIT), constituted to probe the child rape case involving granite baron R Veeramani and other ‘related matters’, to summon and question Tamil Nadu chief minister C Joseph Vijay and TVK ministers Aadhav Arjuna and C T R Nirmal Kumar over their allegations that DMK had protected the accused in the case. He added that the plea was not founded merely upon the making of political statements or upon any political disagreement.
The circumstances placed before the authorities concern the integrity of an ongoing criminal investigation and the identification, securing and examination of material which may have a bearing upon the investigation.
