00:00 The CEO of an Indian AI startup has been arrested on suspicion of murdering her four-year-old
00:06 son after his body was found in her luggage. That's according to the police on Tuesday.
00:14 Suchana Seth, who heads the Mindful AI lab in Bengaluru, was detained when she was returning
00:19 by taxi from Goa and arrested after the body was found in her suitcase, authorities said.
00:25 A Goa police inspector said Seth had checked into a hotel with her son in the state on
00:30 Saturday but the boy was not with her when she checked out on Monday night. The inspector
00:36 added that hotel cleaning staff found bloodstains in the room after she checked out and informed
00:41 the police. And following this, the authorities told the taxi driver to take Seth to the nearest
00:47 police station. The North Goa superintendent, Nadeem Valsan, then told reporters.
00:52 "When the luggage was opened, the dead body of the boy was found."
00:57 A local court remanded her to six days in police custody, news agency ANI reported.
01:03 Seth, being in custody, could not be reached for comment and Reuters was unable to contact
01:07 Seth's husband, family or company staff for comment.
