Reports said the bloodstains that alerted the hotel staff were of Suchana Seth who allegedly murdered her son.
Bengaluru-based AI company CEO Suchana Seth who has been accused of smothering her 4-year-old in an apartment in Goa sent a message to her estranged husband Venkatraman PR asking him that he could meet the son on Sunday, January 7, in Bengaluru. However, Suchana probably had no plan to allow the meeting as her booking in Goa was from January 6 to January 10. At that time, Venkat was in Bengaluru and according to an Indian Express report, he replied to Suchana's message and turned up at the place where Suchana said she would come with their son. He reportedly waited there for two hours, called and messaged Suchana, but received no response. So he left for Jakarta for work -- the report said.
