As details surrounding the case continue to emerge, one particular Instagram post by Seth has captured the attention of the public, intensifying the sense of disbelief and outrage across India.

The chilling revelation comes from Suchana Seth's Instagram account, where she had shared a poignant image of her son approximately three months ago. The post, which is the only one featuring her son, was posted with hashtags like #whatwillhappen, #wish, #findinglosing, #lifeisbeautiful, #lightinwater, #fish, #holiday, and #magicofchildhood, that has taken on a haunting significance in the wake of the alleged crime.

The caption accompanying the post, now hauntingly foreboding, begins to unravel the eerie nature of the situation. It raises questions about what was truly happening in Suchana Seth's life and the dark reality that may have been concealed behind the seemingly idyllic social media facade.

Chilling details of the case so far

Suchana Seth
checked into the Hotel Sol Banyan Grande in Candolim, Goa, with her son on a Saturday and left on a Monday morning. The alarm was raised when the cleaning staff discovered bloodstains in the apartment after she had departed. The hotel management promptly notified the Goa police, triggering a swift investigation.

North Goa SP Nidhi Valsan revealed that CCTV footage showed Seth leaving the hotel alone, raising suspicions among the authorities. The police later contacted the cab driver she had hired, questioning Seth about her son's whereabouts. Claiming that her son was at a friend's house in Goa's Fatorda, Seth provided a false address. This deception led the police to divert the cab to the nearest police station in Chitradurga, Karnataka.

Following this diversion, police officers at the Aimangala police station made a shocking discovery inside the bag Seth was carrying – the lifeless body of her four-year-old son. Suchana Seth was subsequently arrested in Karnataka's Chitradurga district as she attempted to flee.
