Suchana Seth Goa Murder: The estranged husband of Suchana Seth, the Mindful AI labs CEO who murdered her four-year-son, returned to India on Tuesday evening after being informed about the tragic incident. Venkat Raman who was working in Indonesia returned to Chitradurga in Karnataka where he gave his consent to the local authorities to conduct a post-mortem of his son's body, police said.
The child was smothered by her mother Suchana Seth, the CEO of an Artificial Intelligence start-up, in a Candolim service apartment in North Goa, somewhere between January 6 to January 8.
Here are the top updates in the Suchana Seth Case:
