The DMK moves the Madras High Court seeking directions to the state’s Special Investigation Team (SIT) to summon Tamil Nadu Chief Minister V. (Vijay) and two ministers, Aadhav Arjuna and Nirmal Kumar, in connection with the Veeramani child rape case under the POCSO framework.
According to the petitions, the DMK is asking the court to examine whether any evidence exists that the party’s earlier government had shielded the prime accused. The request is aimed at having the SIT question the political leadership to determine whether there is any material that links them to alleged protection of the accused during their tenure.
Both outlets frame the move as a legal step within an ongoing investigation, focusing on who the DMK wants questioned and what the party says it hopes to establish. They do not detail any findings yet from the SIT, focusing instead on the court application and the requested summons.
