Fact Check: Viral Grave Pic is from Hyderabad, India

Fact Check, recently, a viral image has been circulating on social media platforms claiming that the use of grill locks on the grave originated in Pakistan. The image shows a grave with a grill lock secured over it, and the caption suggests that “Pakistani parents lock daughters’ graves to avoid rape“. However, this claim has been debunked by our fact checkers who have proved that it is false.

While the primary purpose of grill locks on graves is to prevent unauthorized access and protect the remains from theft, vandalism, or animal intrusion, there are other reasons why they are used as well. One of the reasons is to prevent the reuse of the same grave.

The false claim that the viral image is from Pakistan is also debunked by our experts. The image is not from Pakistan, and there is no evidence to suggest that grill locks are commonly used on graves in Pakistan. This misinformation is harmful as it can create a false narrative and spread inaccurate information about cultural practices.

It is important to verify the information before sharing it on social media platforms. False claims can easily go viral, and they can cause harm and confusion. In this case, our experts have confirmed that the claim used for grill locks on graves originated from Pakistan is false. In fact, this image originated from a graveyard located in Hyderabad near Madannapet Eidagh.

The original pictures & video of the grave and the graveyard can be seen below which is located in Hyderabad, India.

The grill-locked grave in viral picture is in the graveyard adjacent to Jama Masjid Salar-ul-Mulk, Madannapet, Hyderabad. The reason for fixing grill and locking it, according to the caretaker of the graveyard is preventing reuse of the grave.
