Bengaluru CEO Suchana Seth messaged husband before allegedly killing four-year-old son: Report

The CEO of an artificial intelligence company based in the Indian city of Bengaluru, Suchana Seth who has been accused of the gruesome murder of her four-year-old in the state of Goa sent a message to her estranged husband asking if he could meet their son before allegedly killing him.

Details about the message

Amid the ongoing investigation into the case, it was found that the 39-year-old asked her estranged husband Venkatraman PR on January 6 if he could meet their son the next day, in Bengaluru, according to media reports citing police sources.

However, it is believed that Suchana did not actually have any plans for the meeting to happen since her booking in the Indian state of Goa was from January 6 to January 10, while Venkatraman was still in Bengaluru, reported the Indian Express.
