"I received a call from Thane Municipal Corporation to collect my death certificate," Chandrashekhar Desai said as reported by news agency ANI.
Responding to this, Thane Municipal Corporation's Deputy Commissioner said: "We got this list from 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," he added.
While Chandrashekhar Desai and his family might have been taken aback by this "technical error", the incident can end up becoming an inspiration for a funny scene in a film.
