special task force

The Special Task Force (STF) was formed in 1983 to operate as a counterinsurgency force in Sri Lanka, not as a military force but rather a highly specialized police unit. It later assumed the Counter Terrorist mission and – as the most highly trained police organization – would be the lead unit whenever law enforcement forces reacted against terrorists. The STF has been stationed in the Eastern Province in Sri Lanka where the LTTE is active. Other units are based in Colombo and they are used as V.I.P. security. They have received training from the British SAS as well as the security forces of India.

A Special Task Force was constituted by Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to nab forest bandit and sandalwood smuggler Veerappan in May 1990. Veerappan was finally shot dead by the STF on October 18, 2004.
