What happened to Mayank Katiyar?
Mayank, a local of Fatehgarh and a PSIT B.Tech graduate, was employed by a private company before deciding to open his own company in Kanpur. He went to Empire Clinic for a hair transplant on November 18 of last year. He left the facility about 2:00 PM after being called at about 8:00 AM. By 5 PM, he was returned to his house in Fatehgarh by his younger brother Kushagra.
Mayank complained of excruciating headache discomfort at midnight. An injection was suggested by Dr. Anushka.
The injection had no effect on his condition. Then she requested that they remove his bandage. He was in agony all night long.
