Probe underway at DMHO office

Nalgonda: A police inquiry is currently underway at the District Medical and Health Officer (DMHO) office in Nalgonda in connection with an alleged fake death certificate case. The One Town police have intensified their investigation, with Sub-Inspector Venkata Narayana supervising questioning.

Superintendent Jitender Reddy reportedly struggled to answer some of the questions posed by the SI during the inquiry on Thursday. The police are questioning Reddy, Section Clerk Mohan, and Computer Operator (CC) Ranjith to establish their roles in the alleged irregularities.

Meanwhile, in another development, Shaligouraram Medical Officer Surya Shilpa has been suspended for reportedly forwarding proposals for an irregular appointment.

District Collector Chandra Shekhar issued the suspension orders after an inquiry established her role in the appointment proposals.

The controversy revolves around the appointment of the son of a retired employee under the compassionate appointment category, allegedly in violation of government rules.

According to allegations, around Rs 40 lakh changed hands in connection with the irregular appointment. Questions have also been raised over the possible involvement of 11 persons in the entire episode.
