Earlier, sources told India Today that Suchana allegedly killed her son to prevent her estranged husband, Venkat Raman, from meeting the child as part of visitation rights.

Suchana and her husband, who got married in 2010, have filed for divorce, and the proceedings for the same are ongoing. Recently, the court allowed Raman to meet his son every Sunday. However, Suchana was reportedly unhappy with the court order.

In 2022, she had also filed a domestic violence against her husband. The court papers in the case showed that she sought maintenance of Rs 2.5 lakh per month from Raman, citing his income of Rs 9 lakh per month.

Earlier today, it was revealed that Suchana had told her friends and family members that her son resembled her husband and the child always reminded her of their estranged relationship.

Suchana was arrested in Karnataka's Chitradurga on Monday morning while transporting her son's body in a bag, allegedly after killing him in a service apartment in Candolim in north Goa.

The child's body was cremated in Bengaluru on Wednesday by his father Venkat.
