According to the city police, the man, identified as Udhayakumar (28), works at the cemetery. It is understood that the man is undergoing treatment at the KMC hospital and doing well. Rajeshwari has been praised by everyone for her timely action as the video came out.

Rajeshwari, meanwhile, told indianexpress.com that she was just doing her job without expecting any rewards.

“We received a call around 08:30 today that a man has been found lying motionless at a cemetery in the T P Chatram area. The cemetery was locked. The man had consumed alcohol and had been lying there since yesterday evening. We were informed that the man was dead, but as soon as I reached there I found he was not dead and I tried to wake him up, but he was unconscious. So immediately I picked him up and stopped an auto and asked them to carry him to the hospital. The doctors have said he is safe now,” she said.
