Suchana Seth, the CEO of an AI start-up arrested for allegedly killing her four-year-old son, was quiet throughout her journey from Goa to Karnataka in a taxi, said the driver of the vehicle on January 12.
Talking to reporters at Candolim in North Goa on January 11, Ray John, the taxi driver who helped the police nab Ms. Seth, said she was calm and did not utter a single word during the entire trip that lasted more than 10 hours.
Ms. Seth (39) was arrested from Chitradurga in Karnataka on January 8 night while she was travelling in the taxi with her son’s body stuffed in a bag and brought to Goa on January 9. A court in Mapusa town remanded her in police custody for six days.
She is accused of killing the child in a Candolim-based service apartment in Goa.
Mr. John said the service apartment staff booked his taxi for Ms. Seth. “When I reached the service apartment, she (Ms. Seth) asked me to carry her bag from the reception to the taxi. It was heavy,” the taxi driver said.
“I asked her whether we could remove some belongings from the bag to make it lighter. But she refused. We had to drag the bag to the boot of the car,” he said.
