Suchana Seth, Bengaluru-based AI startup CEO jailed for allegedly murdering her 4-year-old son in Goa, now faces fresh charges for attacking a woman constable inside jail.
April 9, 2025: Suchana Seth, the CEO of a Bengaluru-based AI startup who made national headlines in January 2024 after being arrested for the alleged murder of her 4-year-old son in Goa, has been booked again—this time for allegedly assaulting a woman police constable inside Central Jail.
Seth, an AI ethics expert with over 12 years of experience in the tech and research industries, is currently lodged in jail. According to police reports, the new incident unfolded after she allegedly took the inward register of the women’s prisoner block without authorization. When confronted by the constable, Seth reportedly verbally abused her, kicked her, pulled her hair, and caused physical injury.

⚖️ The 2024 Goa Case
Seth was arrested in January 2024 from Chitradurga, Karnataka, after she was found traveling in a taxi with her deceased son’s body hidden in a suitcase. She had checked into a service apartment in Candolim, Goa, on January 6, and left two days later alone, prompting suspicion from hotel staff who noticed blood-stained towels and her son’s absence.
Her initial claim that the blood was from menstruation and her son was with a friend in Margao quickly fell apart after the given address turned out to be fake. Acting swiftly, police intercepted her taxi and found the child’s body. A chilling note recovered from her luggage hinted at her emotional turmoil over an alleged custody dispute, suggesting she did not want anyone else to raise her son.
Seth was charged under Section 302 (murder), Section 201 (destruction of evidence) of the IPC, and Section 8 of the Goa Children’s Act.
