Chethana Raj's 'fat-free' cosmetic surgery went wrong
On May 16, Chethana Raj, renowned for her performances in Geetha and Doresani, was admitted to Shetty's Cosmetic Centre in Rajajinagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka.

The plastic surgery, however, did not proceed as anticipated. Chethana was taken to Kaade Hospital at 5.30 p.m. by anaesthetist Melvin and the physicians who did the plastic surgery when she encountered problems. They threatened the physicians at Kaade Hospital with treating her as though she had died of a heart attack.

Chethana could not be revived after doctors at Kaade Hospital attempted CPR for 45 minutes. Dr. Sandeep, an ICU intensivist, filed a complaint with the Basaveshwaranagar Police Station's inspector.

Chethana was certified dead around 6.45 p.m., according to him. He also added that the doctors at Shetty's Cosmetic Centre knew that Chethana had already passed away.
