NEW DELHI: A Goa court has extended the police custody by an additional five days of Suchana Seth, CEO of a startup, who is under investigation for the alleged murder of her four-year-old son. Seth was brought before the Goa Children’s Court after her initial remand of six days expired. The Calangute Police requested the extension, stating that the investigation is still ongoing.
Seth, aged 39, was arrested on January 8 in Chitradurga, Karnataka while travelling in a taxi with her son’s body concealed in a bag. She was subsequently brought to Goa. A court in Mapusa town had previously remanded her in police custody for six days. The accusation against her is that she killed her child in a service apartment located in Candolim, Goa.
A senior police officer told news agency PTI on Monday that the accused is not cooperating with investigators.
“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 told the news agency.
The recording of the statement by Seth’s husband Venkat Raman is over, he added.
