Local people discovered her corpse outside the cemetery and notified the family and authorities.

First Post reports that one such user named Harris Sultan, an ex-Muslim Atheist activist and author of the book blamed hardline Islamist ideology for such depraved acts.
“Pakistan has created such a horny, sexually frustrated society that people are now putting padlocks on the graves of their daughters to prevent them from getting raped.
“When you link the burqa with rape, it follows you to the grave,” Sultan tweeted on Wednesday.
Another Twitter user Sajid Yousaf Shah wrote, “The social environment created by #Pakistan has given rise to a sexually charged and repressed society, where some people have resorted to locking their daughter’s graves to protect them from sexual violence.
” Such a connection between rape and an individual’s clothing only leads to a path filled with grief and despair.”
