This is not the first time such an incident has happened in Pakistan. In 2011, news of a man from Karachi named Muhammad Riyaz who raped more than 48 dead bodies of women shocked the country.
The accused was the caretaker of the graveyard in Karachi’s North Nazimabad Town, and was responsible for watering the graves. He was caught after residents of the area complained of dug-up graves. In 2013, a 15-year-old girl’s body was found lying outside her grave in Gujranwala and was reportedly assaulted sexually.
