New Delhi — Police in India have arrested the CEO of an artificial intelligence startup on suspicion of killing her 4-year-old son, whose body was discovered in her luggage as she returned from a trip. Suchana Seth, CEO of The Mindful AI Lab in India's southern technology hub of Bengaluru, was arrested in Karnataka on Monday as she returned from the neighboring coastal state of Goa in a taxi. Police said her son's body was found stuffed into a suitcase.
The motive for the alleged murder remained unclear, but police have said that during interrogation, Seth spoke about a strained relationship with her husband, from whom she's separated.
"Prima facie, during questioning, the woman said she had strained relations with her husband and their divorce proceedings are underway… that there was some court order, because of which she was very unhappy. We have not seen the court order. She said she was separated. We have to verify all this," Nidhin Valsan, Superintendent of Police in Goa state, told reporters Monday.
