In a shocking turn of events, Suchana Seth, a 39-year-old CEO of a Bengaluru-based AI startup, has been arrested for the alleged murder of her four-year-old son at a service apartment in Goa.
The arrest took place in Karnataka’s Chitradurga district as Seth attempted to flee in a cab with her son's body concealed in a bag.
While the exact motive remains under investigation, preliminary interrogation suggests a strained relationship with her husband as a potential factor.
Seth had checked into a luxury apartment in North Goa’s Candolim on Saturday and checked out on Monday morning.
The gruesome incident came to light when housekeeping staff discovered bloodstains in the apartment on Monday. The Goa police were alerted, and upon reviewing CCTV footage, it was revealed that Seth had left the hotel without her son, carrying a bag.

The cab was redirected to Aimangala police station, Chitradurga, where the Karnataka police discovered the lifeless body of the boy in her bag, leading to her immediate detention.
Seth, a data scientist and the CEO of 'The Mindful AI Lab,' faces charges in this tragic incident that has sent shockwaves through the tech community. Her professional profile, highlighting 12 years of experience in AI ethics, now juxtaposes with the severe allegations surrounding her personal life. The police continue their investigation into this distressing case that has stunned many.
