Kannada Actor Chethana Raj Death: Case Registered Against Hospital For Medical Negligence-REPORTS
Kannada actress Chethana Raj, 21, passed away following her fat removal surgery in Bengaluru on Monday, March 16, 2022.

Now, as per the latest reports, a medical negligence case has been registered against Dr. Shetty's Cosmetic Clinic in Rajajinagar based on the complaint by Varadaraju, Chethana's father, reported DNA. 

An NDTV report quoted, Vinayak Patil, Deputy Commissioner of Police, North Division, Bengaluru said, "This is a medical negligence case. An unnatural death report is awaited, and a case has been registered against Dr. Shetty's Cosmetic Centre over suspicion of her death. We have registered a case, however, no arrests have been made yet because the action will be initiated after the medical report is submitted"


As reported earlier, Chethana had sought her parent's permission to undergo fat surgery but, her family had strictly declined for the same. Yet, the young actress still went against her parents and opted for the fat removal surgery. 

Chethana reportedly died due to a cardiac arrest which occurred due to water getting deposited in her lungs during surgery.

As per a report in IANS, after her daughter's death, her father Varadaraju had said, "My daughter died due to the negligence of the hospital. The doctors have conducted surgery without parental consent and without proper equipment. My daughter was hale and hearty. She was absolutely fine. She had gone to the hospital with her friends."

He added, "Someone has suggested to her that she had more fat in the waist and without consulting any family member she had come for the surgery. I will initiate legal action against hospital authorities." After his complaint, an FIR has been filed against the hospital and it has been shut down.

For the unversed, Chethana Raj had acted in popular serials Geetha, Doresaani, and Olavina Nildana. She had also acted in Havayaami, a Kannada movie.
