Mindful AI CEO Arrested For Allegedly Killing Son
A distressing incident has come to light where the 39-year-old founder of a Bengaluru startup is suspected of having committed the heinous act of murdering her four-year-old son in Goa.
Shockingly, it is reported that Suchana Seth, founder and CEO of the artificial intelligence startup Mindful AI Lab, then transported the lifeless body to Karnataka before eventually being apprehended. The details surrounding this tragic event are under investigation as authorities seek to unravel the circumstances leading to the unfortunate demise of the young child.
Seth was apprehended in Chitradurga, Karnataka on Monday with the dead body in a bag.
The motive behind this murder remains unknown. Seth was apprehended in a shocking turn of events when her suspicious actions raised concerns among hotel staff in Goa. Having initially checked in with her son, Seth left the premises alone, prompting the hotel staff to investigate further.
Upon inspection of the apartment she had occupied, housekeeping staff discovered bloodstains, triggering an immediate alarm. Concerned about the potential gravity of the situation, the hotel authorities contacted the Goa police. Subsequent inquiries led the police to contact the taxi driver who had transported Seth. The AI startup CEO had initially claimed her son was with a friend and provided a false address.
The police then communicated with the driver in Konkani, the local language of Goa, maintaining discretion about their ongoing investigation. They directed the driver to reroute the cab to the nearest police station in Chitradurga, approximately 200 km from Bengaluru. It was at this location that Seth was ultimately arrested.
The gravity of the situation was communicated to the accused's husband, Venkat Raman, himself an AI developer. Distressed by the news, Raman hurried to Chitradurga to confront the unfolding tragedy involving his wife. The entire incident has left the Bengaluru Tech community in shock, as authorities work to unravel the circumstances surrounding this tragic event.
As indicated by information gleaned from the LinkedIn profile, Suchana Seth earned recognition as one of the top "100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics for 2021." Her professional journey, outlined on her LinkedIn account, showcased a distinguished career, including a fellowship at Harvard University's Berkman Klein Centre and over 12 years of extensive experience as a data scientist.
