Kanpur, May 30: Dr Anushka Tiwari, accused in connection with two deaths following botched hair transplant surgeries in Kanpur, surrendered in lower court and was subsequently sent to jail.
The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate remanded her to 14 days of judicial custody, rendering her anticipatory bail plea scheduled for hearing on June 2, ineffective.
The case pertains to the deaths of two Engineers, Vineet Dubey and Mayank, who had undergone hair transplants at Dr Tiwari’s clinic.
Vineet, a diabetic and hypertensive patient, reportedly developed complications after the surgery and died on May 15, a day after being admitted to the hospital. His family accused Dr Tiwari of medical negligence and filed a complaint.
Following this, another case surfaced involving Mayank, an engineer from Farrukhabad, who had undergone a hair transplant at the same clinic on November 18, 2024. He died the
next day. His family, citing similarities with Vineet’s case, also approached the police.
In the aftermath of the complaints, Dr Tiwari went incommunicado. Police launched a multi-state search operation over the last two weeks, conducting raids across Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, and Haryana. Her mobile location was traced to Rohtak and Panipat, but she remained untraceable until her surrender in Kanpur.
Authorities have since cancelled the clinic’s registration due to regulatory non-compliance. Police are continuing their investigation and gathering documents related to both deaths.
