Panaji: The police custody of Suchana Seth, a startup CEO arrested for allegedly killing her four-year-old son, has been extended by another five days.

A court in Mapusa town remanded her in police custody for six days.

She is accused of killing the child in a Candolim-based service apartment in Goa.

A senior police officer told 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 said.

The recording of the statement by Seth's husband Venkat Raman is over, he added.

As the investigation in to case is underway, police sources have explained that Seth allegedly started hating her son because his face resembled his father, constantly reminding her of him.
