The security personnel approached a local court to obtain its approval to dig out the grave. The judge however did not give his permission.
“The deceased’s daughter claims to have heard the sound inside her father’s grave. These claims have no basis” Adil Doski, a local official in charge of Faida district, was quoted as saying by Iraqi Al Sumaria Television channel.
“The police contacted the judge who said he would not allow to dig the grave and interfere with the body of the deceased,” the official added.
Meanwhile, the mysterious sound has triggered a flurry of theories and speculations among netizens, amplifying the air of curiosity surrounding the incident.
