In a shocking turn of events, Suchana Seth, the CEO of a Bengaluru-based AI company, stands accused of smothering her 4-year-old son during their stay in Goa. The distressing incident has raised numerous questions, shedding light on a series of events leading up to the tragedy.
1. Misleading Communication with Husband: Suchana, who is currently estranged from her husband, Venkatraman PR, allegedly sent him a message inviting him to meet their son in Bengaluru on Sunday, January 7. However, it appears this was a ruse, as Suchana’s hotel booking in Goa was scheduled from January 6 to January 10, making the meeting logistically impossible.
2. Unanswered Messages and Unexpected Departure: Despite Venkatraman’s presence at the designated meeting place, Suchana reportedly did not respond to his calls and messages. Subsequently, he left for Jakarta for work, according to an Indian Express report.
3. Goa Hotel FIR: An FIR has been registered against Suchana Seth by the Goa Police based on a complaint from the hotel manager where she and her son had been staying.
4. Conflicting Statements on Son’s Death: While Suchana has not admitted to murdering her son, she informed the police that he was already dead on January 7, contradicting the earlier communication inviting her husband to meet the child.
5. Unexplained Urgency to Return to Bengaluru: Despite her hotel booking extending until January 10, Suchana requested a cab on January 7, citing urgent work in Bengaluru. The cab driver mentioned being stuck in traffic at Chorla Ghat, near the Goa-Karnataka border, when he offered to take her to the airport.
6. Driver’s Role in CEO’s Arrest: The cab driver played a crucial role in Suchana’s arrest, as he confirmed her deceptive statements to the police. Upon realizing the fabrication, the driver was instructed to take the cab to the nearest police station, which was now in Karnataka.
7. Unknown Motive for Tragic Act: Investigators remain puzzled about the motive behind the alleged murder. Reports suggest that Suchana might have suffocated her son with a pillow after administering a high dose of cough syrup.
8. Isolation in Hotel Room: On the day of the incident, Suchana mostly stayed inside her Goa apartment. She ordered coffee and food online, providing a chilling backdrop to the unfolding tragedy.
9. Attempted Self-Harm: Bloodstains discovered in the hotel room were reportedly of Suchana, aligning with police findings that she attempted to harm herself after the tragic incident.
10. Bright Past Overshadowed by Tragedy: Suchana Seth, known as a quiet neighbor in Bengaluru, had a bright academic history, securing a fellowship at The Raman Research Institute. However, her recent actions have cast a shadow over her past accomplishments. Neighbors remember her as a quiet person until she moved out of her flat four months ago with her son.
