An image of a woman scanning a QR code on a gravestone-like structure has gone viral with the claim that there are graves in Japan with QR codes, scanning which one can get information on the deceased’s life.
India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) has found that the picture was taken in 2015 at a theme park in Southwest China. These are not real gravestones. Visitors to the park can scan the QR codes on the structures to commemorate the victims of Nanjing Massacre and Bombing of Chongqing, both committed by Japanese troops in China during World War II.
