Granite Slab Thefts Shock Kerala Town

In a town in Kerala, India, two granite slabs covering graves in church cemeteries were stolen on consecutive days.

The thefts have shocked the community, as cemeteries are considered sacred places of memory and faith.

Police are investigating and believe a group was involved, possibly using a vehicle.

The slabs were quite large, measuring about six feet in length and three feet in width.

The community is upset not just because of the theft, but because the graves are seen as symbols of remembrance and dignity.

Police have not yet found any leads or identified any suspects.
