SIT FILES 720-PAGE CHARGESHEET AGAINST GRANITE BARON, TWO DRIVERS IN POCSO CASE
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl filed a 720-page chargesheet against Gem Granites chairman R Veeramani and his two drivers, Parthiban and Babu, before the Special Court for POCSO cases in Chennai on Wednesday.
Police sources said the chargesheet included the names of seven police officers including at least two IPS officers.
Officials said that the officers were named in the chargesheet for failing to act promptly on the complaint and for not invoking the appropriate sections in the initial First Information Report (FIR), which was registered soon after the police received the complaint along with a pen drive containing crucial evidence. The evidence was subsequently pursued by the police team, which led to the arrests and helped build the case against Veeramani. However, SIT officials declined to divulge further details of the case.
The chargesheet was filed on November 11, 46 days after the case was registered on September 27, based on a complaint from the victim’s mother.
The SIT examined 40 witnesses and submitted the final report to the court located within the Madras High Court complex.
According to the police, Veeramani sexually assaulted the girl, who belonged to a Scheduled Caste. Parthiban and Babu, who were aware of the offence, transported her in a vehicle and dropped her at Veeramani’s premises.
The three accused were charged under Sections 366 and 506(2) of the Indian Penal Code, relevant provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
The DGP constituted the SIT on September 24 to investigate a Central Crime Branch case registered against Veeramani and his associates, along with related cases. Following its formation, the team registered seven fresh cases based on complaints from victims and their mothers, involving nine minor girls. The chargesheet was the first filed in these seven cases.
