Mangaluru: Youngster dies during cosmetic surgery, family alleges doctor's negligence
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.

Odisha: Normalcy returns to violence-hit Malkangiri; internet services fully restored
Malkangiri (PTI): Normalcy returned to Odisha’s Malkangiri district on Monday, nearly a week after around 200 villages were damaged in violent clashes in a village, with the district administration fully restoring internet services, a senior official said.
Additional District Magistrate Bedabar Pradhan said internet services, suspended across the district on December 8 to curb the spread of rumours and misinformation following the clashes, were restored after the situation improved.
The suspension had been extended in phases till 12 noon on Monday.
The administration also withdrew prohibitory orders imposed under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita within a 10-km radius of MV-26 village, where arson incidents were reported on December 7 and December 8.
Though the violence was confined to two villages, tension had gripped the entire district, as the incident took the form of a clash between local tribals and Bengali settlers following the recovery of a headless body of a woman on December 4, officials said.

The violence broke out after residents of Rakhelguda village allegedly set ablaze several houses belonging to Bengali residents, forcing hundreds to flee. The headless body of Lake Podiami (51), a woman from the Koya tribe, was recovered from the banks of the Poteru river on December 4, while her head was found six days later at a location about 15 km away.
Officials said the district administration held several rounds of discussions with representatives of the tribal and Bengali communities, following which both sides agreed to maintain peace.
Relief and rehabilitation work has since been launched at MV-26 village, with preliminary assessment pegging property damage at around Rs 3.8 crore.
A two-member ministerial team headed by Deputy Chief Minister K V Singh Deo visited the affected village, interacted with officials and locals, and submitted a report to the chief minister.
So far, 18 people have been arrested in connection with the violence, the officials said, adding that despite the withdrawal of prohibitory orders and restoration of internet services, security forces, including BSF and CRPF personnel, continue to be deployed to prevent any untoward incident.
On Sunday, Nabarangpur MP Balabhadra Majhi visited MV-26 and neighbouring Rakhelguda villages, and held discussions with members of both communities as part of efforts to rebuild confidence and restore peace.
More than two lakh Bengali-speaking Bangladeshis were rehabilitated by the Centre in Malkangiri and Nabarangpur districts in 1968, and they currently reside in 124 villages of Malkangiri.
