Chethana Raj death reason: Chethana Raj, who starred in television serials like Geetha and Doresani, died at a private hospital in Bengaluru, Karnataka, where she had been taken on Monday, May 16. Her death has sparked a lot of conversation on the internet, as the young actor died as a result of complications from a 'fat-free' plastic surgery she had on Monday.
The Kannada television actor died while undergoing "fat-free" plastic surgery at a private hospital named Shetty's Cosmetic Centre in Rajajinagar in Bengaluru, Karnataka. However, the surgery did not go as planned. As fluid collected in her lungs, the actor reportedly had difficulty breathing. Reportedly, the hospital where she was operated on did not have an ICU.
The latest reports, on Chetana Raj's death controversy, have revealed that Chetana's parents have filed a case against the hospital. Dr. Sandeep V, ICU Intensivist at Kaade Hospital has also filed an FIR at the police station, claiming that Dr. Melvin from the previous hospital already knew that Chetana Raj had passed away when he brought her to Kaade. He revealed that even though there was no pulse, the doctors at Kaade, tried CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) for 45 minutes to revive her. The complaint filed, states "We strongly object to this kind of behavior by these doctors and if necessary we may decide to file a report against them. This report is sent to you to bring to your notice that this incident does not appear normal."
She was then transported to Kaade Hospital at 5.30 p.m. by anaesthetist Melvin and the doctors who conducted the plastic surgery, who allegedly threatened to treat her as if she had experienced a cardiac arrest. Doctors at Kaade Hospital assessed her when she arrived at the hospital and discovered she was unresponsive and had 'no pulse.' They started CPR right away, and after 45 minutes of attempting to save her, the doctors declared her dead.
In his complaint to the inspector of Basaveshwara Nagar Police Station, ICU intensivist Dr Sandeep stated that Chethana Raj was confirmed dead at 6.45 p.m. He also mentioned that Shetty's Cosmetic Centre doctors were aware that the actor had died.

According to sources, Chethana Raj did not tell her parents about the procedure. Her friends accompanied her to the hospital. Her parents, on the other hand, have filed a complaint against the doctors for carelessness.
According to the late actor's uncle Rajappa's statement to a news portal, "She was appearing in Kannada TV shows and is the daughter of my younger brother." Someone had advised her to lose weight because she appeared to be fat. As a result, she went to Shetty Hospital to get the excess fat removed. The hospital did not have an ICU, so the procedure had to be done elsewhere. Water accumulated in her lungs after the procedure. They then sent her to a local hospital, where she was declared 'brought dead.'"
