A night at graveyard!

IAS Officer U. Sagayam Spent the Night in a Graveyard to Protect Evidence in a ₹16,000 Crore Scam In a remarkable example of honesty and dedication, Tamil Nadu IAS officer U. Sagayam once spent an entire night in a graveyard to protect important evidence during an investigation into an alleged ₹16,000 crore granite mining scam in Madurai. Sagayam was appointed as a Legal Commissioner by the Madras High Court to investigate the massive illegal granite mining case. During the investigation, authorities needed to dig up certain graves to recover bodies for forensic examination. However, when Sagayam and his team reached a graveyard near Melur village, local police and officials said they could not carry out the excavation at night. Fearing that important evidence could be destroyed or tampered with, the honest IAS officer decided to stay at the graveyard overnight. He even arranged a cot near the graves that were scheduled to be excavated. The next morning, the investigation team returned and recovered skeletal remains from the graves for further examination. The case involved allegations against granite businessman P.R. Palanisamy, including claims of illegal activities and the burial of 12 people. These were allegations under investigation. Sagayam's extraordinary commitment went viral on social media, with thousands praising his courage and dedication to justice.
