The CEO of an Indian AI startup, Suchana Seth, has been arrested for the alleged murder of her 4-year-old son.
According to reports, the child's remains were discovered in her luggage during a taxi ride, prompting authorities to bring her to the nearest police station. Goa police official Paresh Naik confirmed the arrest.
According to Naik, Seth booked into a hotel in Goa on Saturday, but her son was missing when she checked out on Monday night, according to Reuters.
Naik told a news agency that hotel housekeeping workers discovered blood traces in Seth's room and informed authorities.
According to reports, Suchana Seth was detained after her son went missing while staying at a hotel in Goa and was subsequently discovered dead.
"When her luggage was opened, the child's dead body was found," said North Goa Superintendent of Police Nidhin Valsa, according to Reuters.
The circumstances surrounding the suspected murder are unclear; however, Indian news website The Week said that Seth told police that she and her husband are estranged and that divorce proceedings are underway.
Seth has been brought to Goa for alleged interrogation, while her husband, who was in Indonesia at the time of the incident, has been asked to return to India, according to Reuters.
Reuters reports that Suchana Seth's company is situated in Bengaluru, India's tech capital.
