Tomb of Qutabuddin Aibak
PunjabTombProtected
It is controversial whether the tomb was erected on his grave or not because in Tabqat-e-Akbari the word Qabr is mentioned and not the Mauza. However, in Tabqat-e-Chishti, it is mentioned that there was a marble tomb which was pulled down by Ranjit Singh. Previous trial trenches made at the site showed no indication of any structure over there.
