This is "Khoja Kabrastan" in Wadi-us-Salaam graveyard with about 15 Khoja graves, including family members of Haji Salmaan Moloobhoy (President of the NGO "Anjuman e Faiz e Panjetani") and of Haji Mohibali Nasser (President of Imaan Foundation in Mumbai)

In fact, the deceased had been buried in today's "Thawrat-ul-'Ishreen" checkpoint, but in 2003, the authorities decided to construct a road there. The bodies were then "transferred" to the current place of the Wadi-us-Salaam graveyard.
