HYDERABAD: Four persons, including a MeeSeva centre operator in Old City, were arrested by Hyderabad Task Force police on Friday for allegedly running a birth certificate racket and issuing illegal certificates.

Cops recovered 243 certificates from the accused who have been identified as Ibrahim, MeeSeva centre operator, Ameer of Mannat Online and Shabaz and Shanawaz of Hi-Tech Online Service.
