How Veerappan was trapped

The forest brigand Veerappan and three of his key associates, who were killed in an encounter on Monday night, were lured out of their hideout by Special Task Force personnel who had finally managed to infiltrate the gang. An STF man, who had gained their confidence, drove Veerappan and his gang straight into the trap set up at Paparapatti village in Tamil Nadu’s Dharmapuri district.
