Man Receives Call From Civic Body To Collect His Own Death Certificate

This could be described as the strangest of calls anyone could get.

In a strange incident, a man in Maharashtra, India, received a call from Thane civic body to collect his death certificate. “I received a call from Thane Municipal Corporation to collect my death certificate,” Chandrashekhar Desai, a local, has alleged.  When the matter was reported in the media, Sandeep Malvi, Deputy Commissioner, Thane Municipal Corporation, said that it was nothing more than a technical error and assured Mr Desai that the team had been instructed to verify the list again.

“We got this list from the Pune office as we don’t prepare it. It was a technical error as his name appeared in the list of deaths. We’ve instructed our team to verify the list and then call people for follow-up,” Mr Malvi told news agency ANI.
