New Delhi: The CEO of a Bengaluru tech start-up, Suchana Seth, has been arrested in connection with the murder of her four-year-old son. The shocking crime took place in a hotel room in Goa, leading to a multi-state investigation that ultimately led to her arrest.
Local police in Goa have praised the quick thinking of hotel staff and a resourceful cab driver for their roles in helping to apprehend Seth. The details of the murder remain unclear, leaving authorities and the public to grapple with the question of what could drive a mother to commit such a heinous act against her own child.
Seth checked into a hotel in Goa’s Candolim with her son before abruptly leaving alone, carrying a large bag that was later discovered to contain the boy’s body. She then hired a cab to take her nearly 600 kilometers to Bengaluru, refusing the option to fly. It was the alertness of the hotel staff and the calm cooperation of the cab driver that ultimately led to the discovery of the crime.
The relationship between Seth and her husband, who is reportedly in the final stages of divorcing her, has come under scrutiny as investigators try to piece together a motive for the murder. The father of the child, who was out of the country at the time, has been summoned back for questioning.
Authorities have conducted a post-mortem examination on the child’s body and are in the process of reviewing CCTV footage from the hotel where the murder took place. Suchana Seth, a successful CEO and Harvard University fellow, remains in police custody as the investigation continues.
In a tragic turn of events, a young boy lost his life and a mother is now facing serious criminal charges. The details of this case continue to unfold as authorities work to understand the events that led to this devastating outcome.
