Court Extends Bengaluru CEO Suchna Seth's Police Custody By 5 Days

Following a Children's Court ruling, Suchana Seth, who was initially remanded to police custody, will now be held until January 19.

The Goa Children's Court extended the police custody of Suchana Seth, a Bengaluru-based data scientist and business entrepreneur, by five more days, news agency ANI reported. Suchana Seth is accused of allegedly killing her son on 7 January in a service apartment. Seth was brought before the Goa Children's Court after her original six-day custody expired. Calangute Police requested that her custody be extended since the investigation is still ongoing. Following a Children's Court ruling, Suchana Seth, who was initially remanded to police custody, will now be held until January 19.

Seth (39) was caught on January 8 in Chitradurga, Karnataka, while riding in a cab with her son's body placed in a bag and carried to Goa. A Mapusa municipal court put her in police detention for six days.

She is suspected of murdering the infant at a service flat in Candolim, Goa.

According to a senior police official, the accused is not cooperating with investigations. “We had asked for an extension of her custody as we wanted more time to interrogate her. We have to also conduct other formalities like taking her DNA sample,” he was quoted as saying by PTI in its report. 

The recording of Seth's husband Venkat Raman's statement is complete, he added. 

Earlier, Goa police seized a note scribbled by Seth using an eyeliner in a luggage. According to a Hindustan Times report, she expressed anguish and remorse in the message and explained how the court and her estranged husband, Venkat Raman, were putting pressure on her to cede custody of her kid.

"Court and my husband pressuring me to give custody of my son. I cannot take it anymore…My ex-husband is violent…he used to teach bad manners to son. I am extremely guilty and frustrated. I love my son but I did not want to see him meeting his father," the note read.
