A 39-year-old CEO of a Bengaluru-based AI company arrested for allegedly murdering her four-year-old son at a service apartment in the coastal state has been sent to 13-day judicial custody, an official said on Jan 19.
Suchana Seth, 39, was arrested on Jan 9 in Chitradurga district of Karnataka while she was heading to Bengaluru in a cab. Initially, she was sent to six-day police custody, and later it was extended by five days.
“She was presented in court on Jan 19. DNA, medical tests and other things have been taken care of. Hence, we did not require further police custody,” deputy superintendent of police Vishwesh Karpe told the news agency.
The police officer said that she was not cooperating in the investigation.
According to the police, Suchana Seth is a native of West Bengal who had settled in Bengaluru. She was married to a Keralite.
She had checked into a service apartment in Candolim, North Goa on Jan 7 with her son and left for Bengaluru early the next day after allegedly committing the crime in the room, the police said.
The police said that the incident came to light after house-keeping staff went to clean the apartment and noticed some bloodstains.
