Mangaluru: A 32-year-old man from Ullal, Muhammad Mazin, tragically passed away following a cosmetic surgery procedure at the "Flaunt" Hair Transplant Clinic in Kankanadi. The family has accused the clinic of negligence, claiming that errors during the surgery led to his death.

Mazin had visited the clinic on Saturday morning to have a small cyst removed from his chest. According to his family, the surgery, expected to take about 30 minutes, was prolonged for hours without any communication. His mother and wife, who were waiting outside, grew concerned and were later informed of a sudden change in his health condition.

Mazin was rushed to a private hospital in Kodialbail, where doctors declared him dead on arrival.

The Kadri police have registered a case based on a complaint filed by Shaman Ibrahim.

Mazin’s relatives have alleged that negligence on the part of the clinic's doctor during the procedure led to his death. Furthermore, concerns were raised about the clinic’s inadequate facilities, as the ambulance stretcher could not reach the clinic due to its cramped location.

Social activist Rizwan Pandeshwar has urged the public to avoid clinics lacking proper infrastructure for cosmetic procedures.

Despite the incident, the head of the clinic has reportedly not contacted Mazin’s family to offer condolences.

Gorakhpur (PTI): A hospital employee was booked for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in the pretext of an ultrasound test here in the district women's hospital, police said on Saturday.

According to the complaint, the woman, a resident of the Gulriha area, visited the district women's hospital on Thursday morning for an ultrasound test.

She was directed to a room, where Abhimanyu Gupta was conducting ultrasounds. When her turn came, the accused allegedly stared at her and told her to remove all her clothes, claiming it was necessary for the test and that a massage would also be required, she said.

The woman alleged that once she complied, the accused began making obscene advances and tried to force himself on her. When she screamed, he allegedly gagged her, abused her and threatened to kill her before pushing her out of the room.

She said her complaints within the hospital went unheard, forcing her to approach the police.

Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.

Senior consultant (paediatrics) Dr Jay Kumar said, "The woman has levelled serious allegations against a staff member. Senior officials have been informed, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Strict action will be taken if the charges are proved."

Kotwali Station House Officer Chatrapal Singh said a case has been registered, and efforts are on to nab the accused.
