Rajajinagar, 19/5:Dr Shetty’s Cosmetic Centre in Rajajinagar, which has come under the scanner for the death of 21-year-old Kannada actress Chethana Raj on the operating table, has a polyclinic licence that does not permit performing surgeries, revealed to the state health department on Wednesday.
Prima facie, it’s a violation, said Health Commissioner D Randeep. He told DH that the Karnataka Private Medical Establishment (KPME) Committee under the chairmanship of Bangalore Urban District Deputy Commissioner (DC) will initiate action against the health facility.
KPME Deputy Director Dr Vivek Dorai, Department of Health and Family Welfare, along with district health officer and taluk health officer visited the centre on Wednesday and found that it had been closed since Tuesday. Dorai told DH, “We have pasted a notice on their clinic door asking for an explanation within 24 hours. Irrespective of whether they provide a reply or not we will lodge suo motu complaint against them with the committee under the Bangalore Urban DC. This will be independent of the police case.
