Your Views:In my view this is happening solely due to the inability of both the state govts involved.How come a STF dedicated for a particular task for past few years not able to even lay hand on Veerapan even once.And the lack of committement and Increased Corruption in Police and politics is the main cause why Veerapan had escaped after being caught once.I feel that the Centre need to strictly look into this and end the Menace once and for All.

Your Views:Both the State Governments and Central Government should show courage to hunt/shot this idiot. If he kill the captives, let him do. But the Governments should not allow this fugitive to go free now. Should give free hand to the forces to nab/kill him. Some politicians may be hand in glove with him. Let the forces to remove the mask from these politicians supporting this type of smugllers/killers.

It is the Govt's failure to catch Veerappan and now, they cant do anything which can prove dangerous to Nagappa's life. They need to do all the things needed to get him released and appoint Kempaiah back as STF chief and give full encouragement and co-operation to STF, they will do the rest.

Your Views:First of all in a democratic country one has to respect human value! When a minister's daughter was abducted what we did? When terrorists hijacked a flight what we did? When Dr. Rajkumar was kidnapped what we did? Observing all our pre-actions we have to accept to Veerappan to release Nagappa! Use same scale for all! Secondly people are not safe under our police system which operates as per political tunes. From when this Walter Devaram challenging that he will catch Veerappan and continues in police even after retirement! Veerappan is now because of this Devaram! Why Karunanidhi prevented him, if the statement of Jayalalitha is correct? Third, the security system! People laugh at Police body gourds that were just frightened by seeing Veerappan at Nagappa's residence! So they act only in police custody! Not in open ground! Can't face Challenges! What kind of training they get then? In conclusion, we have to remodify our system of Democracy not by setting commissions by studying occurrences with experts. Culprits should be punished whether it is IG, Constable or CM without allowing them by going for a stay at courts. Bring an amendment soon!

Your Views:Set a thief to catch a thief.This strategy has to be used by Center/CBI and state govts(TN and K). They should join hands with the Big V and plan for 1)being a Super cop incharge of all anti terrorist missions including Pak sponsored ones which are operating in India. 2)Being a lead negotiator on behalf of govts(State/Center) whenever any terrorists kidnap some key officials.His skills in being a kidnapper will come to use. 3)Being a lead activist in taking action against corrupt Forest officials all over the country.His responsibility will also include taking action against people engaged in smuggling forest produce/animal parts. 4)Being a key trainer on behalf of govt for imparting training to forest officials. 5)Being a OSD for the power minister in recovering dues from ministers/errant businessmen and top leaders who do not pay up/delay. 6)Being a OSD for the home minister in ensuring that former ministers clear their residences once they are no more in the ministry. In exchange govt should clear all charges against him and ask him to gather his cronies to form a organisation which will have a annual budget and get get financial assistance from all states and center.

Your Views:The problem with Veerappan has been persisting for a very long time now. Both state governments seem to have taken only a 'reactive' approach as opposed to 'pro-actively' trying to nab the culprit and bring him to justice. It is very surprising that with so much police, para-military and military forces we are unable to catch him. I fear that sincere efforts were never put to stop this. Under the circumstances there is a serious need to review the whole issue and find reasons for failing to stop this once for all. This sends very bad signals to people within India. There is obviously a greater risk in the international arena when several countries may 'ridicule' India's and respective state governments inability to stop this. Therefore one fundamental question that comes to many a mind is 'How is India going to stop infiltration across the border?' when we are unable to do anything in our own backyard !!!! This is rudimentary question.

I opine 'If there is a will then there is a way'. Once politics is de-linked from Veerappan then he is going to be caught.

Your Views:This is one of the typical situation but not the most. The same thing happened in Afgan when our aeroplane was hizacked by terrorists, to release them we released some terrorist leaders. What they are doing now they killed many persons who are more than in number that day in Aeroplane. So, why we bow our head if we bow our head then whats the meaning of Govt, whats the meaning of Court, and whats the meaning of Justice. If govt bows head infront of culprits then who is going to assure the people a Safe life. Let veerappan do what he can. Lets we see. Try to trap him. Lets give some one week time to Army people and get the work done. If we lost the life of former minister let it be. Catch him and kill him there. Dont let him come to the people and join the Nation. What the hell he can do. Why two States has to bow their heads in front of Culprit. Who is he. Having some 10 plus people around him he is playing hide and seek. Let him do what he can. If two states cant find him ask central govt ask General of Army to took the case. They will give his dead body within 7 days. Why state governments are wasting time discussing about that culprit.

Even making him eat gutkha-masala will do. 5. Why not make him play criket with Sachin tendulkar. We will then catch him in lunch time. 6. Make him play KBC. When he will phone a friend, we will crack his associate on the other end. Then our muscleman police will do the rest of required things 7. Bumper idea. "Just do something atleast"

What political parties need to do in karnataka is to get rid of regional politics and make there senses to think . A Determined step of refusing each and every demand of veraappan will definetly solve the problem might take time. As it seems Veerappan is also driven politically. Not doubt there is a hand of politician not only from government side but may be from opposition side also. Just like mumbai under world virtually have links to all parties and almost every type of business. Thus veerappan must be having support from atleast someone from each and every party

No way in the world could veerappan have survived for so long without political support. Unless our political system is cleansed of corruption and criminal nexus Veerappans will keep flourishing. To catch veerappan a three pronged approach should be followed. First, intelligence gathering. Veerapan and party needs food,water,weapons and ammunition to survive/terrorize.Get to know the contacts and places from were he manages these items. Once his movement is discerned, isolate him in a small pocket of the forest.Finally start squeezing in. This will require a lot of planning,perseverance and leadership. But in the end it will still boil down to the willingness on the part of the State and Central Govt.

Your Views:There is no point. The mindset of Muslim clergy needs to be changed. If not Musharraf, another xyz may come. There will not be any change. Before Musharraf, there was Pakistan, there was India, and there was Kashmir problem. First let us cleanse our own nationals. There are so many in India; they do not want to sing Vande Mataram also. First change them. Then think others. Musharraf cannot do any harm to India. He will be busy solving his own problems. International community will keep a watch on him. He is conscious about it. Let him go on bluffing, it will do innumerable good things for India. If you recollect the story Mahabharata, he is like Shakuni and Pakistan is Kauravas. Like Shakuni, he will destroy Pakistan. Already the stage is set in. It needs to be enacted. It took 18 days for Pandava's to destroy Kaurava's but the present process may take 18 months. That is all. Let us wait and watch.

The entire system has to be cleaned...deploy para military forces, special trained people ...to nab him...he is alos an human and how long can he run...lets adopt the united states policy..dont bend infront of the terrorsists.....dont give the reins of control to the terrorists. If the govt accepts his demands..there is going to be no end to this ..he will kidnap another person tomorrow and so on...let the government show him that we dont get threatened by these stupid shouts and let him know that this kidnapping will not benefit him in any way...starve him to death....and he is bound to surrender

There is a big net-work of many other persons: politicians, Govt. office persons, police personnel & many innocent civilians. These innocent civilians are trappred by supporting them during their crisis period and they repay the obligation by working for 'him'. In addition 'Tamil' trump card is used as & when needed. Verappan is just a 'scare crow'. There is no point in searching for 'him' in the forest. Even if he is cought, rest of the net work will sacrifice him & the work of the net work may cotinue with a different 'scare crow'. So, all 'Veerappans' are to be cought & broght under the law: if at all the purpose of the operation is to succeed

Look my friends,have u ever heard this from any of our responsible leaders? Never and Ever you will!When TN force searches from their side,the K side would be open for him.When K side starts TN would be open. If only there is a will from both sides,he can be trapped. But mind u,this is not a small task, since he is a pet for lot of the nearby villagers where he dwells. For them,he is more God than the Politicians,who comes only for votes. Which side of Veerappan should we catch? The Good or Bad? Think about the mastermind planning of these abductions or crimes. Do u really think,that all these comes from that large moustache.Final options left out- Let Veerappan live as he likes playing his games and we say Shame! Or let us-I said 'us',not Tamilian,Not Kannadika,'We Indians'-strike against these closed door mock meetings,force them to let a gang of 50(yes, 50 is more than enough-with guts)young & dedicated commandos to catch him alive,trial him & all others who helped him

Indo Pak wars 1965, 71, Kargil, the current standoff and Indian Airlines hijack to Afghanistan. Karnataka should not yield to Veerapan's demand. Central Govt should step in and help apprehend this brigand. Since the two State Govts political complusions are clearly overshadowing their main objective. Veerapan needs to be apprehended for couple of reasons: - Prove to we citizens & not the world that India is not soft. Set a precedent for police forces, political establishment to take such actions in the future. Maybe also undertake and conduct such overt actions against other law breakers - Dawood, Abu Salem, Baba Ghazi. - Save tax payers money. STF that is just not delivering results akin to the Indian Army in Kashmir not being able to stem the infux of Pak trained terrorists. Divert this money to rain deficit regions for employment and other irrigation schemes. - Unearth the nexus & patronage that Veerapan enjoys from the State establishment both political and police.

Your Views:Apart from his demand for ransom money, no other illogical demands of Veerappan can be possibly be met. The politicians cannot expect any sympathy from the public for the situation they find themseles in now. They have to kill the monster that they themselves have created. Having secured the release of Nagappa, the Karnataka & Tamil Nadu governments should launch a sincere effort to nab Veerappan. They should realise that it is in neither state's interest to let one person hold the entire establishment at ransom and play with the emotions of the kannadigas and the tamilians. The politicians should not let their petty interests override the well being of the very people who are the reason of their existence in public life.

Your Views:Well, Veerappan is making a mockery of our force..With the ever increasing crime rates in the city, it just adds to the already drooped down forces..No one knows when on earth people will start commanding respect ..Look at the men serving such forces in other countries..Look at their fitness...Look at their dedication ..and Look at the fear in the eyes of criminals when thry are cought..maybe we need to rethink on these lines and make ourselves stronger and then hunt for this guy..maybe u will endup with his grand child ..never mind that..Our forces can take credit for that too...

Your Views:the need of the hour is a "NWO" New World Order.i firmly beleive only a rebel ca change the world, history is replete with sagas of wars, reforms,revolutions, crusades and ideological conflicts.one's national identity must transcend religion, creed, caste , sex and other attributes.as far as vision is concerned it can be attained through steadfast perseverance and courage of conviction. its a sad state of affairs that out politicians and bureaucrats are men of words they indulge in rhetoric and eloquent talks but dont not "walk their talk".unless one realizes that the self-progress and nation's progress should go hand-in-hand, the objective of "developed india" will be a mere ideal.people from all walks of life and different strata of the society need a paradigm shift so that they can see things from a holistic perspective not shed their parochial outlook.

Your Views:Veerapan is growing stronger and stronger year after year by the good nourishment provided by the politicians. The politicians (supporting him) need him to be alive for their own benefits. Recruit an army of sincere, nation-loving youngsters who alone can apprehend the bandit. We can't expect anything good to happen in the hands of selfish politicians. (no need to use selfish politicians. The politician itself is synonymous with selfish).

Your Views:The connection between Veerappan and politicians like vaiko is a not a secret. Recently when rajinikanth termed Veerappan as 'Rakshasa', Vaiko critised that Rajinikanth is insulting the caste of Veerappan. If he has sucha support of politicians, no the work of STF will go in vain like the past.

Your Views:Commenting on this is easy. It is really a tough job to nab this guy. He is very familiar with the thick forest which the STF find difficult. He also has the support of the Tribes.

Your Views:One need not shed any tears over Mr. Krishna's predicament. He had no business to transfer a fien officer who was in the Karnataka STF. He placated the quarry lobby and moved him. There is a deep nexus between Karnataka politicians and Veerappan.Whatever be the peculiarities of Jayalalitha, at least she is firm about countering terrorism and hunting down bandits. There are no soft options. No question of ransom or placating the bandit. Hunt him down like the animal he is. No surrender to Blackmail as was done in Raj Kumar's case.

Your Views:Govt should talk to Veerappan and pay him huge amount and ask him to kill militants and pakistan supporters in Kashmir, after all what Verappan needs?? money?? Indian govt should pay him whatever he demands, even if he died, he will called as Shaheed. He has everything, man power, brain, skill, and arms so why cant he be used for fighting with terrorists

Your Views:Government should not enter into this matter because there may be some mis understanding between Nagappa and Veerappan. So it is between them, let them do whatever they want. Because samething hapenned in Rajkumar's case...

Your Views:Hi , veerappan is one of the biggest employer. He has resulted in payment of wage of 100+ crores to our poor khakhi walas. To the news hungry STAR TV and Armchair analysts. Please don't make them unemployed ! Our politicos will find the ultimate solution if required...clear the forests (not of bandits..but of trees) ..then where can veerappan hide ! Meanwhile some small bucks for them. We should also tell veerappan that there are other ways of threatening the govt... this kidnapping is becoming a boring thing. We need something more interesting and juicy ..something like what the biggest of the bandits..Osama did. I am actually proud that atleast he is having the courage to take on the Police state of Ammaji. I hear that even DMK and MDMK leaders are quivering under the Baton of Ammaji's police...of course my house was burgled 2 weeks back and the police donont know where the theif is .. i understand ..they are not able to pick Veerappan..why bother about the neighborhood burglar who is making Chennai a small satyamangalam forest. Talking of that i see more similarity like Good Roads , Mosquitoes and leaches in chennai. Veerappan i am coming..better be with u than in Chennai
