When Chandrashekar Joshi, a city resident, went to the TMC office, he was allegedly told by an official that as per the data received from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), he had 'died' on April 22, 2021.
The death certificate mentioned that he was a Covid-19 patient ten months ago.
A bewildered Joshi told reporters here on Thursday that he had indeed tested positive for the viral infection in October 2020, but he isolated himself and recovered.
Civic officials were not available to comment on the goof-up despite several calls.
