Hyderabad: The recent case against an assistant medical officer of health (AMOH), caught in a birth certificate racket, hasn’t come as a surprise to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). Reason: The AMOH — main accused in the scam — is among the 200 officials from the civic body, found indulging in irregularities. In fact, the state vigilance and enforcement (V&E) department recently submitted a report on these officials to the commissioner, accusing them of corruption.

GHMC officials were also aware that AMOH Aizaz Khasim, who works in the Khairatabad zone, has been absconding since more than a week after learning that a case has been registered against him by SR Nagar police.
