An 84-year-old prominent businessman from Tamil Nadu and two associates were arrested by the Central Crime Branch’s (CCB) anti-vice squad for allegedly sexually assaulting a minor girl, police said on Sunday.
“The man claimed that the pen drive contained footage of prominent businessman 84-year-old R Veeramani committing a sexual offence against a young girl in the bed room of his associate, Shanthi in Teynampet in Chennai.
The case was registered on October 6, 2025, after a volunteer filed a complaint with the CCB and submitted a pen drive that he said had been handed over to him by an “unidentified” man. The pen drive allegedly contained footage of the businessman committing a sexual offence against a minor at a house in Chennai’s Teynampet, police said. “It emerged that numerous young girls were brought to the house where sexual crimes were committed and video evidence of one such crime involving a young girl was seized,” police said. Veeramani, Shanthi and her husband Mahendra have been remanded in judicial custody, police said.
Upon viewing the video stored in the pen drive, the police confirmed it showed an elderly man engaging in a sexual crime against a young girl,” a release from CCB said on Sunday.
