The Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted to probe cases of child sexual abuse against Gem Granites owner R. Veeramani has arraigned 7 police officers, including two IPS officers, who earlier served in the Greater Chennai Police as accused in the first case, police sources said on Thursday.
The police officers were accused of failing to record information of a cognisable offence, resorting to falsification of records and failing to report or record a case of child sexual abuse, the sources said.
Parrying questions on their identity and designation, a police officer said that the SIT had submitted a report in the Special Court for POCSO Act cases giving specific details of lapses involving the accused police officers.
