EP-13 |

In this documentary-style series, I’ll be exploring the real-life story of Koose Munisamy Veerappan, one of India’s most feared and fascinating outlaws. For over three decades, Veerappan ruled the forests along the Karnataka–Tamil Nadu border, creating an empire built on sandalwood smuggling, ivory poaching, and armed resistance against the police.

Born in 1952 in Gopinatham, a small village in Tamil Nadu, Veerappan began hunting and smuggling sandalwood at a young age. Over the years, he built a massive network of forest informers, loyal gang members, and local supporters who helped him survive countless police operations. His deep knowledge of the Sathyamangalam forests made him nearly impossible to capture, even as multiple states launched joint task forces to hunt him down.

This series uncovers:
-Veerappan’s early life — from his childhood influences to his first crimes.
-His smuggling network — how he transported tons of sandalwood and ivory under the radar.
-Encounters with police and STF — the decades-long cat-and-mouse chase between Veerappan and the Special Task Force.
-His gang and close associates — loyal men who lived and died by his side in the forests.
-Family and personal life — insights into his wife Muthulakshmi and how she lived through his criminal legacy.
-Public perception and media portrayal — how Veerappan became both a feared bandit and a local legend.
-His final days and death — how “Operation Cocoon” finally ended the Veerappan era in 2004.

Through each episode, we’ll look at the man behind the myth — his strategies, his mindset, his brutality, and his strange sense of justice. This is not just a story of crime, but a story of power, fear, survival, and the lawless world hidden in India’s forests.
