108 days. One legend. Two states. And a mystery that still raises questions.
On July 30, 2000, Dr. Rajkumar was kidnapped from his farmhouse in Gajanur by Veerappan and his gang.
What followed became one of the most shocking episodes in Karnataka’s modern history.
For 108 days, Karnataka waited.
Governments negotiated.
R. R. Gopal walked deep into the Sathyamangalam forests.
Veerappan made demands.
And an entire state watched and waited for one question to be answered:
How would Rajkumar come back?
But there is another question that has remained controversial for years...
What was actually given in exchange for his release?
Different reports have mentioned different amounts and claims, but the exact details have never been conclusively established publicly.
In this episode of Kathe Corner, we go back to that night in Gajanur and trace the 108-day journey — the kidnapping, the forest, the negotiations, the political pressure, Rajkumar’s eventual release, and the questions that remain unanswered.
Watch till the end.
And ask your parents or grandparents:
“Those 108 days… what do you remember?”
