Naresh Bhatt, a man from Northern Virginia, has been denied bond in connection to the disappearance of his wife, Mamta Kafle Bhatt. Mamta, a 28-year-old nurse, went missing almost two months ago in Manassas Park. The judge refused Naresh’s request for bond after prosecutors presented evidence during a lengthy hearing.
According to prosecutors, there is video evidence of Naresh disposing of trash bags in dumpsters around Northern Virginia, as well as buying rubberized gloves, knives, and cleaning supplies after his wife’s disappearance. Cadaver dogs also indicated the presence of a body in the Bhatts’ home. Additionally, Naresh searched the internet for a diagram of a brain and “chicken farm near me.”
Mamta’s family and supporters urged the judge not to release Naresh on bond, expressing their desire for justice and closure. They praised the work of the Manassas Park police and vowed to be Mamta’s voice throughout the trial. The community has come together to support each other during this difficult time.
In a bond motion filed by Naresh’s lawyer, doubts were raised about the evidence used by investigators, including the blood detection system and internet searches conducted on a computer in the Bhatts’ home. Naresh’s trial is scheduled for December, and NBC Washington will continue to provide updates on the case.
The developments in Mamta Kafle Bhatt’s case have deeply impacted the Manassas Park community, with residents coming together to support each other through this challenging time. As the investigation continues and the trial approaches, the community remains vigilant in seeking justice for Mamta and her loved ones. Stay tuned to NBC Washington for the latest updates on this ongoing story.
