Maldives police have removed a coconut that was buried in a grave in the capital, Raajje TV reported Monday.
The station said it had obtained a photo of the coconut, which had writing and strange markings on it. Police confirmed that an investigation was under way. The coconut was found in Aasaharaa (New Cemetery) in Malé.
Raajje TV also reported there were frequent cases of strange items – such as corpse-like dolls – being buried in the graves of people with specific names in the cemetery.
There were also allegations that senior government officials had been seeking permission to bury things in the cemetery, and offering money to migrant workers to bury things there.
