A 28-year-old Hyderabad man lost his life during a surgery to enhance his smile.
The man, Laxmi Narayana Vinjam, died while undergoing the 'smile designing' ahead of his wedding which was scheduled for next month. The procedure took place at the FMS International Dental Clinic in Hyderabad's Jubilee Hills on February 16, police said.
Vinjam's father, Ramulu Vinjam, has alleged that he died of anesthesia overdose by the surgeons. He further said that after his son fainted during the surgery, the staff called him and asked him to come to the clinic.
"We rushed him to a nearby hospital, where the doctors declared him dead on arrival," he said.
The family of the man was not aware of the surgery.
"He had no health issues, the doctors are responsible for his death," he said.
After the complaint by the family, a case has been registered against the clinic for negligence.
