Crime News Updates : The CEO of Bengaluru-based artificial intelligence startup The Mindful AI Lab, Suchana Seth, was detained on Monday while bringing her four-year-old son’s body in a bag close to Chitradurga, Karnataka. According to Goa DGP Jaspal Singh, she was charged with killing her four-year-old kid in Goa, she told India Today.
The Goa Police claim that the mother killed her son in a hotel room in Candolim, North Goa, because she didn’t want her ex-husband to see the child. 2019 saw the birth of the couple’s son, who they married in 2010.
In 2020, however, a disagreement led to the couple’s divorce. On Sundays, the father was allowed to see their son, as per the court’s order. When the woman checked with her son but left alone, hotel workers got suspicious, and that’s how the incident came to light.
Soon after, the hotel staff notified the local police, and a cab driver verified that the woman was, in fact, traveling alone. The child’s body was then found, and the woman was taken into custody by the police.
