BENGALURU, INDIA: A Bengaluru-based AI start-up CEO, Suchana Seth, was apprehended by the Karnataka Police in Chitradurga after committing a horrific crime. The 39-year-old Seth was arrested for the murder of her four-year-old son and attempting to escape with the body in a bag.
The gruesome crime came to light when a hotel staff in North Goa’s Sinquerim discovered blood stains on the sheets while cleaning the room after Seth’s departure. She had checked into the hotel with her son on January 6. The hotel management promptly informed the police, leading to her arrest.

Initially, Seth fabricated a story claiming she left her son with a relative in South Goa, but investigations proved otherwise. The police managed to intercept her in Chitradurga while she was en route to Bengaluru in a taxi.
The Goa Police collaborated with the Karnataka Police to detain Seth and retrieve the body of her son from the bag she carried. Further questioning is underway to establish the motive behind the heinous crime. Suchana Seth, a prominent figure in AI ethics and associated with Mindful AI Lab, had an impressive background in data science and machine learning.
Seth’s husband, Venkat Raman, an AI developer, also joined the authorities in Chitradurga following the incident. The case continues to be under investigation by the police to determine the cause of the tragic act.
In summary, CEO Suchana Seth was arrested for the murder of her four-year-old son, and investigations are ongoing to determine the motive behind the crime.
