BJP Demands CBI Probe into POCSO Case Involving Gem Granites Veeramani
· India · The Hindu, Hindustan Times
Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Narayanan Thirupathy urged the Tamil Nadu government to transfer the sexual assault case involving Gem Granites Veeramani to the CBI. The demand follows a request by Deputy Commissioner Geethanjali to recuse herself from the Special Investigation Team handling the probe. The officer cited her prior involvement with the Central Crime Branch under then Chennai Police Commissioner Arun. Thirupathy argued that a central inquiry is necessary due to the possibility that high-ranking police officials may have diluted the investigation.
