Chethana Raj died due to complications in her fat removal surgery in Bengaluru. Now, a case has been filed based on her father's complaint.
Chethana Raj, a 21-year-old Kannada actress breathed her last while undergoing fat removal surgery in Bengaluru on Monday, March 16. In a further development, a medical negligence case has been registered against Dr. Shetty's Cosmetic Clinic in Rajajinagar based on the complaint by Varadaraju, Chethana's father.
Vinayak Patil, Deputy Commissioner of Police, North Division, Bengaluru was quoted saying, "This is a medical negligence case. An unnatural death report is awaited, and a case has been registered against Dr. Shetty's Cosmetic Centre over suspicion of her death. We have registered a case, however, no arrests have been made yet because action will be initiated after the medical report is submitted", as per an NDTV report.
It is being reported that Chethana had asked her parents for permission to undergo fat surgery but the family had declined her, but the actress still went further against her parents and opted for the fat removal surgery. Chethana reportedly died due to a cardiac arrest which occurred due to water getting deposited in her lungs during surgery.
As per a report in IANS, after her daughter's death, her father Varadaraju had said, "My daughter died due to the negligence of the hospital. The doctors have conducted surgery without parental consent and without proper equipment. My daughter was hale and hearty. She was absolutely fine. She had gone to hospital with her friends."
