Keep up peace and harmony
Look at me, I am full of courage. Nothing will happen to my husband. He has the ‘ashirwad’ of everyone. Please maintain peace. He will be back soon.

Raghavendra Rajkumar
We were warned
An Intelligence officer, Mahesh, had come to our office Vajreshwari Combines in Gandhinagar sometime back and alerted us that in case Dr. Rajkumar wants to go beyond Mysore, he has to seek the permission of the Intelligence. Yet after that Dr. Rajkumar went to his native place in Gajanur on three occasions. And the fourth time, he decided to take things easy and did not seek any help. He went cool on the Veerappan activity but was trapped in the fifth visit. When Raghavendra Rajkumar had informed him about the intelligence report, Appaji said ‘What can Veerappan do to me. I am an ordinary dhoti and shirt clad man. If he asks for it, I will give it to him.’

It was a shock
The news of kidnapping of Dr. Rajkumar has come as a wild shock. This is an insult to the state government. Unitedly we have to face the issue before us with patience and courage. Dr. Rajkumar will come back unhurt, mentally and physically. We have to pray for his safety

Karnataka CM, SM Krishna
Freeing him is the first priority
Getting back Dr Rajkumar from the clutches of Veerappan is my first priority and also of the state government.

Hamsalekha
He needs our prayers
Dr. Rajkumar is a precious jewel of the state. Veerappan cannot harm him as he too respects the idol of the Karnataka State. If Veerappan is intelligent, he will learn good things from Dr. Rajkumar. Till Dr. Rajkumar is released, prayers have to be conducted for his safety.

Jayanthi
He is a humble soul
This is a tussle between the government and Veerappan. Why should an artiste of Dr. Rajkumar’s stature be kidnapped for that? Dr. Rajkumar has never hurt anyone in his life. He is a humble soul. He should return safely.

Producer Rockline Venkatesh:
Shock of my life
I got a shock of my life. Even the five crore Kannadigas all over the state were not spared of the news. ‘Annavru’ should come out of the clutches of Veerapan as quickly as possible. Let us all keep peace without bursting our emotions. Otherwise the entire State will be a hell.

S Narayan
Rajkumar is god
Veerapan has not captured an ordinary human being but a ‘GOD’. Dr Rajkumar is the king of all kings. If such a god is harmed, it will be the end of demon Veerappan. All these years, Veerappan has been causing obstacles by killing, smuggling and looting. Now he has kidnapped Dr. Rajkumar. This time god has arrived in the form of Dr. Rajkumar. And Dr. Rajkumar has a tremendous will power. He is such a noble person that there are chances that he can even transform Veerappan in a good human being and make to surrender.

Ravichandran
Give him what he demands
The government has to bow down to Veerapan’s demands and give as many crores of rupees as he demands. Today Dr Rajkumar’s safety is of atmost importance. If we take any drastic step, it will be difficult to say what will happen.

Jayamala
This is a shocking news
There cannot be any shocking news than this. Dr. Rajkumar is child-like in his temperament. Why has Veerapan captured Dr. Rajkumar is very disturbing to my mind. I wish he returns safely.
