In a heart-wrenching interview with Business Today Executive Director Rahul Kanwal, Poornima Rao, mother of Suchir Balaji, an ex-OpenAI researcher, shared her grief and growing concerns surrounding the mysterious death of her son. Authorities in California ruled Suchir’s death a suicide, but Poornima, supported by findings from private investigators, believes otherwise. Her revelations shed light on startling details that cast doubt on the official narrative. The mother talks of documents in the possession of Suchir Balaji, which she says he was about to reveal to the world and which would the true intentions of Open AI & Microsoft. One week after he talked about making these documents public, Suchir was found dead. “When we went to the apartment, we found his bedroom ransacked, and there were clear signs of a struggle,” Poornima revealed. “The bathroom had blood splatter patterns that didn’t align with the alleged cause of death. It looked as if he had been hit.”
