In a fresh development in the ongoing probe against granite baron R Veeramani, who is facing charges of sexually harassing minors, another girl has come forward with a complaint of harassment, police said on Sunday.

Action has been initiated based on the statement of the minor, who was previously a witness in an already registered case, they said.

The case traces back to October 2025 when a child rights activist handed over a pen drive to the Anti-Vice Squad containing a video of a minor being sexually assaulted. A note accompanying the drive alleged that the man in the footage was Veeramani and that the incident occurred at the residence of Mahendra Simhan and Shanthi.
