Sandalwood smuggler Sandalwood Veerappan, was an Indian dacoit active for years in a broad swath of scrub and forest land covering six thousand km in the states of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. He long defied three state governments and Indian Border security paramilitary forces, maintaining at one point a small army numbering in the hundreds. He was wanted for killing approximately 184 people, mainly police officers (about fifty % of total killings) including senior police and forest officials.He was wanted by Police of three states, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, for several decades. He was wanted for poaching about two hundred elephants and smuggling ivory worth US$2,600,000 and sandalwood of about 10,000 tonnes worth US$22,000,000. Veerappan had a price of 5 crore (US$0.91 million) on his head but evaded arrest for 20 years until he was killed by police in 2004.
