Suchana Seth, chief executive officer of Mindful AI Lab.
Suchana Seth, the 39-year-old CEO of a Bengaluru tech startup, has been arrested for the alleged murder of her four-year-old son.The unfolding details reveal a gruesome crime that took place in a Goa hotel, involving bloodstains, a resourceful cab driver, and alert hotel staff, according to police.
Seth checked into a service apartment in north Goa's Candolim on January 6 with her son. Two days later, she checked out alone, carrying a large bag, later revealed to contain the body of her child. The motive behind the murder remains unclear.
Demand for a long-distance cab
The alert hotel staff grew suspicious when Seth insisted on booking a cab for a nearly 600 km journey to Bengaluru, a distance easily covered by air in under 90 minutes. Despite suggestions to take a flight, she opted for a lengthy road trip.
The arrest unfolded when hotel staff at Sol Banyan Grande, Goa, noticed bloodstains while cleaning the room. They contacted the police, initiating a chain of events that ledto Seth's arrest.
To arrest Seth, the police followed a strategic plan. They spoke to the cab driver in Konkani to prevent alerting her and directed him to a police station. The driver, showing remarkable composure, cooperated with the authorities. Upon inspecting the luggage, the child's body was found.
