A court has extended Veeramani’s judicial custody until October 9 in a case filed under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The court hearing a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act ordered that Veeramani remain in judicial custody until October 9. The decision was recorded in a recent hearing, extending the period of detention that was previously set.
The POCSO Act, a special law aimed at safeguarding minors from sexual abuse, mandates strict procedural safeguards and often involves custodial remand for accused persons during investigation.
By extending the custodial term, the magistrate ensures that the investigation can continue without interruption while the accused remains under judicial supervision. No further details about the allegations or evidence were disclosed in the order.
The extension will remain in effect pending the next scheduled hearing, after which the court will decide whether to grant bail or continue detention based on the progress of the probe.
