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.
