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.

New Delhi, Nov 22: BJP leader Vinod Tawde has demanded an apology from Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for making "false and baseless" allegations against him in the cash-for-votes incident in Maharashtra, saying if they don't he would sue them for defamation.

Tawde was accused by Bahujan Vikas Aghadi, a regional party, of distributing Rs 5 crore to woo voters, with its members barging into a hotel room on November 19 in a Mumbai suburb, where the BJP leader was present.

The former Maharashtra minister and BJP national general secretary claimed innocence, saying the alleged amount was not recovered in the probe by the Election Commission and police.

"The Congress only believes in spreading lies, and this incident is a proof of the party's low level politics to dent me and my party's image," Tawde said.

The two Congress leaders and the party spokesperson Supriya Shrinate seized on the row to accuse the BJP of using money power to influence the November 20 assembly polls in the state.

The legal notice sent to the three claimed that they were aware that they were pushing a "totally false story fabricated" by them.

"You all have deliberately, mischievously with the sole intention of damaging the reputation of our client intentionally fabricated the story distribution of money. You all have published false, baseless allegations against our client on various media for tarnishing his image in the eyes of right thinking people in the society," the notice read.

The Congress leaders were in a "great hurry" to damage Tawde's reputation, they did not bother to check the fact and or despite knowing the entire fact they made the false, baseless allegations, it said.

"The entire imputation made by you all are totally false, baseless, malicious and mala fide and as our client is in no way involved in any such illegal activity and as a responsible office bearer of the national political party he is aware of his duties," it added.

The notice demanded an "unconditional apology" to Tawde within 24 hours from the time the receipt of the notice, which was sent on November 21, and published in newspapers and X.

If they do not offer apology, then Tawde will initiate criminal proceedings under Section 356, which covers defamation, of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and also civil proceedings for the damages of Rs 100 crore against the three Congress leaders, the notice said.
