As it turns out, the man is ALIVE. Here's a photograph of him existing MRTB hospital, Indore after recovery on April 12. He is the one in the yellow kurta.

Instead of declaring him dead and blaming him for mistakes he never committed, @Republic_Bharat could've delved into his local travel history.
The man had started feeling under the weather since he left Delhi on April 20. He had taken an overnight train to Indore and subsequently a 3-hour bus ride to Khargone.
These details could help local authorities in contact tracing had the channel done its job.
