Belagavi, Nov 18: In a strange incident reported from Nippani in the district, the parents of a man created false records and obtained death certificate of their son from the local municipality.

Saleem (26), son of Jahangir Mujavar, resident of Bheemanagara, Nippani, works as a truck driver. His parents were aggrieved at the fact that their son has been spending lot of time in the company of third gender against their repeated advice.

On February 28, 2014, they obtained a doctors certificate confirming death of Saleem due to heart attack, and submitted application to the municipality, duly countersigned by two persons living in their neighbourhood and also a municipal councillor as required. On the basis of this application, the municipality issued death certificate.

Saleem, who recently came to know about this, has been moving around with xerox copies of his own death certificate, duly expressing anger at the recklessness of municipal officials.
