DMK says police arrested ‘Gem Granites’ Veermani because of court direction

The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) on Saturday (September 26, 2026) alleged that the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK)-led government had arrested Veeramani, the owner of ‘Gem Granites’, only after the jurisdictional court took serious note of the sexual assault of children and the judge expressed displeasure over the matter.

DMK Rajya Sabha member Constantine Ravindran, who filed a complaint with the Election Commission of India (ECI) demanding action against Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay for linking the DMK to the case during the byelection campaign in Madurantakam (SC), claimed the TVK government had sought to cover up the case four times on the ground that there was no prima facie case.
