Congress functionary Ranjan Kumar has alleged that he had approached senior Chennai police officials with a complaint against Gem Granites owner R. Veeramani as early as 2024.
Following the controversy, former Chennai Police Commissioner Arun IPS and former Additional Commissioner Kannan IPS have now been moved to the compulsory waiting list.
Ranjan Kumar has stated that he submitted evidence and repeatedly followed up, but alleged that no action was taken on his complaint. The developments have now brought renewed attention to the handling of the case by the police at the time.
Arun IPS was serving as Chennai Police Commissioner during the period in question, while Kannan IPS was serving as Additional Commissioner of Police, South. Both have now been placed on the waiting list amid the ongoing investigation.
The case involving allegations against 84-year-old Gem Granites owner R. Veeramani has triggered a wider investigation, with police examining the allegations and the circumstances surrounding the earlier handling of the complaint.
