Among his victims, however, came in and own infant daughter, whom he strangled with his own hands - it is not the place to cry, just at the moment when the bandits hiding in the jungle by a police patrol.

I like turned into a tiger and without hesitation hacked them to pieces. We put body parts in bags and went down to the river. I said: These hands want my death, so I fed them to the fish. " When the members of his own gang tried to get out of the "business" and create an independent formation, Veerappan invited them to her house, where quietly interrupted, beheaded and their heads hung on the tree in the heart of the village - as a warning to those who would like to come separatist thought.

Part of this money was used to bribe the local authorities, so as not to interfere with "the business." In addition to money, the forest brigand provided "their" candidates required number of votes in the elections to the local authorities.
Nevertheless, the police continued to hunt for Veerappan. After the bandits killed the overseer forest, threatening to "surrender" poachers, and after him three more rangers and a whole group of police informants, his head chieftain set a price of one million rupees, and in the forest were sent new expeditions to catch the criminal. Groups of heavily armed Indian commandos who proudly call themselves "liquidators", one after another went into the jungle. Few came back ...
