Cosmetic Surgery Clinic in Mangaluru temporarily shut after patient death
Mangaluru: The Health Department has temporarily closed the Flaunt Cosmetic Surgery and Hair Transplant Clinic at Bendoorwell, Kankanady, following the death of a young man during a cosmetic procedure. The closure was ordered by D.K. District Health and Family Welfare Officer, Dr. H.R. Thimmaiah, on the directives of District Collector Mullai Mugilan.
The incident involved Muhammad Mazin, a resident of Akkarekere, Ullala, who had visited the clinic for a minor cosmetic surgery. The 30-year-old had gone to Flaunt Clinic on Saturday morning to have a small cyst removed from the left side of his chest. However, according to the family, Mazin died during the procedure due to alleged negligence in administering anesthesia.
In response to the family's serious allegations, the Health Department filed a suo-moto case. The family claims that improper anesthesia administration before the surgery was the primary cause of Mazin's death.

Man allegedly arrives with deadly weapon to attack another, caught by public in Jokatte
Panambur: A man who allegedly came armed to attack another person was caught by members of the public and later handed over to police in Jokatte late on Friday night.
The accused has been identified as Naveen Poojari, originally from Vamanjoor and presently residing in Jokatte.
According to police sources, Naveen was married and has an eight-year-old son. The couple are now divorced.
Police said Naveen suspected that his former wife, who is employed at a showroom in Padil, was moving closely with Devi Prasad Acharya, a mechanic working there.
Based on this suspicion, Naveen allegedly went to the house of Devi Prasad Acharya on Friday night carrying a deadly weapon, created a scene and issued threats.
During the incident, Devi Prasad Acharya reportedly contacted the 112 emergency helpline, following which Naveen fled from the spot.
