Few days back, news claiming rising cases of necrophilia in Pakistan sent shockwaves all over. A picture posted by a Pakistani writer to make the situation appear real has added to the sinister claims. However, in a twist, an Indian politician did a fact-check and posted a video and several pictures, confirming that the pictures shared by the Pakistani author were fake.
AIMIM national spokesperson Waris Pathan tweeted a video and confirmed that the grave is indeed from Hyderabad, India and the reality is very different from the claim that was made in the now deleted Twitter post.
the truth behind the closed tomb
In a video tweeted by Waris Pathan, a man is seen insisting that the pictures of the grave are from Hyderabad city and not Pakistan. Social media was flooded with these viral pictures claiming cases of necrophilia in the neighboring country (Pakistan). The truth of the picture came to light on Sunday when a man who was locked in the cemetery in Hyderabad’s Madannapet area last year visited the same place after seeing pictures and posts on social media.
What was the purpose of locking the tomb?
The man further revealed that it was the grave of his friend’s mother who had died last year. After burying him there, his family members sealed it off to prevent any other deceased from being buried at the same spot. The muezzin of Masjid-e-Salar Mulk, where the cemetery is located, said he saw some people burying other dead in old graves. To avoid such things, the family members of the deceased put iron grill and locked it.
