Exactly 10 years ago to this day, Veerappan, the dreaded elephant poacher, smuggler and cop-killer, was ambushed by law-enforcement agencies, ending his successful run of over 25 years. Veerappan was a stark example of how easy it is for unlawful elements to thrive by exploiting the inability of police and judiciary to coordinate across state borders. Inter-state border areas are the proverbial Achilles Heel of police and judiciary, and a number of rich mafias thrive on this weakness along the borders of many states. To add to the complications, long-standing political disputes between states make it easy for criminal elements like Veerappan to get funding and a semblance of political legitimacy.
