Veeramani POCSO Case: Vijay Escalates Attack On Stalin, DMK

The political faceoff over the Veeramani POCSO case has intensified, with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay targeting MK Stalin and the DMK over the handling of allegations of sexual abuse of minors. Stalin has rejected the allegations of a cover-up as false and defamatory. The Tamil Nadu DGP has ordered a fresh probe by a four-member SIT of women IPS officers, while two senior IPS officers have been removed from their posts and placed on compulsory wait. Questions remain over the sequence of police action and the handling of the case.
