Bengaluru: The CEO of an AI start-up based in Bengaluru was apprehended while attempting to escape in a taxi after murdering her four-year-old son at a hotel in Goa and concealing his body in a bag. The Karnataka Police arrested 39-year-old Suchana Seth in Chitradurga.
On January 6, the CEO and her son had checked into a hotel in Sinquerim, North Goa.
The heinous act came to light when a hotel staff member, cleaning the room after Seth had departed, discovered bloodstains on the sheets, prompting the hotel management to notify the police.
According to the authorities, Seth used a sharp weapon to kill her son. Afterward, she requested the hotel management to arrange for a taxi so she could return to Bengaluru by road. Upon reviewing CCTV footage, the police determined that she had checked out of the hotel alone.
“She initially told the police she had left her son with a relative in South Goa, but the story didn’t check out. We called the cab driver and asked him to report to the nearest police station. She was nabbed with the help of Karnataka Police in Chitradurga district while on the way to Bengaluru,” the officer at the Calangute Police station said.
