You mean Koose Muniswamy Veerappan (c. 1952-01-18–2004-10-18), the notorious Tamil bandit and self-styled 'Robin Hood' of India? I don't think a an outlaw can be said to "rule" anything.
According to Wikipedia, "He resided and carried out his activities in the Biligirirangan and Malai Mahadeswara Hills and Sathyamangalam and Gundiyal forests, covering 6,000 km² in the states of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. He challenged three state governments and the paramilitary force of Indian Border security. He once had a mini army with hundreds of armed members in his gang. He was wanted for killing about 124 people, including senior police and forest officials, poaching about 200 elephants, and smuggling ivory worth US$2,600,000 and sandalwood of about 10,000 tonnes worth US$22,000,000. [...] evaded arrest for 20 years until he was killed by police in 2004."
