Gem Granites Veeramani’s daughter Archana moves Madras High Court alleging human rights violations by SIT

CHENNAI Archana Veeramani, 49, the daughter of R. Veeramani, being investigated as the main accused in a series of child sexual abuse cases, approached the Madras High Court with a plea to order an investigation into the human rights violations allegedly perpetrated against her by the State police and also to quash the summons issued after forcibly making her deboard a Singapore-bound airplane on October 23, 2026. Justice V.

Lakshminarayanan is expected to hear her plea on Wednesday (November 11, 2026). The High Court Registry had numbered her writ petition (criminal) subject to maintainability. In her affidavit, Ms.

Veeramani said, her father had been arrayed as the prime accused in a case booked by the police under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act of 2012 and other laws. She was not an accused in that case at least as on October 23, 2026 and no court had restrained her from undertaking foreign travel. Therefore, she had booked a flight from Chennai to Singapore on that day to visit her son and help him take medical treatment for his ailments.
