Veerappan did not harass me: Rajakumar

Freed Kannada matinee idol Dr Rajakumar Thursday said though fate had willed his kidnapping, his release from forest brigand Veerappan's captivity was a blessing in disguise as it would pave way for continued harmonious relations between Tamils and Kannidagas in the two states.

In a brief press conference at the house of Boothapadi Tamil Maanila Congress president Ramarajan, before leaving for Bangalore in a helicopter, Rajakumar said, "It's my fate that I was abducted by Veerappan."

"But my release would foster relations between Tamils and Kannadigas in the two states. People of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka will live as brothers and sisters in future", said Rajakumar.

A visibly tired Rajakumar, who was assisted to the press conference by official emissary and Tamil magazine editor R R Gopal, said during his 108 days in forest, he was well taken care of by Veerappan. "Veerappan did not harass me," he added.
