Some unknown treasure hunters dug the 400 years old graves of an ancient cemetery in Karachi, 24News HD TV channel reported on Saturday.

The report said that unknown persons for the reason of hunting for some treasure dug the graves and stole the human skeletons from the cemetery.

An ancient cemetery is located in the middle of the Kathor Gorbanon area in Gadap Town Karachi city.

Residents of the area said that when the locals of the area passed by the ancient graveyard, the bones were scattered near a grave.
