'It Was Clearly An Abuse Scene': A. J. Hariharan on Veeramani Case Evidence
In an exclusive interview with India Today, Indian Community Welfare Organisation (ICWO) founder-secretary A. J. Hariharan detailed how his NGO blew the lid on the child sexual abuse case involving industrialist R. Veeramani. Hariharan explained that on October 6, 2025, an anonymous person delivered an envelope containing a scribbled note and a red pen drive to their office. Upon reviewing the twenty-minute footage, Hariharan stated, "it was clearly an abuse scene," showing an elderly man abusing a girl who appeared to be around twelve years old. Rejecting suggestions of purposeful masking, he noted that the poor quality video captured the assault. Citing two decades of close coordination with the Anti-Vice Squad in rescuing minors from commercial sexual exploitation, Hariharan confirmed that ICWO formally lodged a complaint with Assistant Commissioner Yasmin. He reiterated the NGO's commitment to ensuring justice while acknowledging their limited role after handing over the crucial electronic evidence to authorities.
