He said no action was taken under DMK govt, while TVK govt had allowed police to proceed without interference. The minister said Stalin should answer these questions instead of “thanking the people of Kolathur as though he is ending his political career.

Kumar alleged that Veeramani was known to Stalin and compared the allegations against him with the Pollachi sexual assault case. He also demanded that Stalin explain “who received money and allowed the accused to escape. Madurai : Law minister C T R Nirmal Kumar on Monday questioned former chief minister M K Stalin over why action against Gem Granites founder R Veeramani was allegedly halted despite video evidence in a child sexual abuse case.
“The case was registered on 07.11.2025 and investigated by police.
They never said the case was dropped,” he said. The DMK’s stand is clear — whoever commits a crime or is involved in sexual harassment will face firm action,” he said. Houses were searched and further investigation was conducted based on the available evidence. Police had only stated that, since adequate evidence was not available at the time, a final investigation report could not be filed and further investigation was deferred until proper evidence was obtained. “The investigation was never dropped during the DMK regime. The law minister is hiding this fact and making defamatory statements. Elango added that the law minister should speak responsibly, as such statements could divert the course of the case and potentially dilute the investigation.
