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.

Yadagiri: The District Court on Monday rejected the anticipatory bail application filed by Mallikarjun Muthya of Mahal Roja in Shahapur taluk.

Muthya, a self-styled godman is facing charges in a POCSO case lodged at Gogi Police Station, for alleged inappropriate behavior with a minor girl.

A video of the incident allegedly went viral over social media prompting the Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights to register a suo motu complaint against him.

He is widely known as “Appaji” among his followers. According to local reports, he is revered by many devotees in North Karnataka and surrounding districts, who regard him as a “walking god” or a local deity.

He has become widely known over the past four years due to his active presence on social media and has drawn attention for his sometimes controversial “miracles.”
