The police in Chitradurga checked the woman’s bag in which they found the body of the child.
A 39-year-old chief executive officer of a start-up company allegedly killed her four-year-old son in Goa, and then travelled with the body to neighbouring Karnataka, a police official said on January 9.
Goa police arrested the accused, Suchana Seth, at Chitradurga in Karnataka on January 8, he said, adding the motive behind the killing is not known.
According to Seth’s LinkedIn page, she is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of start-up Mindful AI Lab, and was among the top ‘100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics for 2021’.
She checked into a rented service apartment at Candolim in north Goa on January 6 along with her son, Calangute police station Inspector Paresh Naik said.
After staying there for two days, she informed the apartment staff that she wanted to go to Bengaluru for some work and asked them to arrange for a taxi.
“The staff suggested that she could take a flight to Bengaluru, which would be a cheaper option rather than hiring a taxi, which is an expensive proposition,” he said.
The accused insisted that she would travel by taxi. Accordingly, a taxi was arranged on January 8, in which she left early morning.
