21-year-old Kannada actress dies as cosmetic surgery to remove fat goes horribly wrong

<p>
A 21-year-old Kannada actress died on Monday after a fat removal surgery at a private hospital in Bengaluru went horribly wrong.</p>
<p>
TV actress Chethana Raj developed complications after the surgery, her parents alleged.</p>
<p>
They have lodged a police complaint against the doctors at Dr Shetty's Cosmetic Clinic in Rajajinagar.</p>
<p>
Chethana was admitted to the hospital on May 16 for the surgery, but she did not inform her parents about the surgery, police said.</p>
<p>
After the surgery, her lungs reportedly filled up with fluid and she died of a cardiac arrest.</p>
<p>
Her parents have blamed negligence on the part of the doctors for her death. They allege that the hospital failed to take their consent for the surgery and the procedure was done in an ICU that lacked proper facilities.</p>
<p>
Chethna’s father, Varadaraju, said the doctors should have suggested a surgery only if there was a real need for removal of fat. The consent form for the surgery was signed by her friend.</p>
<p>
According to reports, doctors tried to revive her through CPR for 45 minutes but did not succeed. She was then taken to the nearby Kaade Hospital.</p>
<p>
The Kaade hospital has alleged that they were forced to violate protocol for a patient who was brought unresponsive.</p>
