A 28-year-old Virginia mother, Mamta Kafle Bhatt, has been missing for over three weeks. Court documents obtained by CNN affiliate WJLA reveal that her husband, Naresh Bhatt, is accused of killing her inside their home and dragging her body outside. Naresh Bhatt faces a felony charge of prohibition against concealment of a body and was taken into custody after authorities conducted a search warrant on their home.
Although Naresh Bhatt has not been formally charged with murder, a preliminary criminal complaint states that he murdered his wife on or about July 30, 2024. Evidence found in the residence indicated that the body was inside the residence and dragged out. Digital and forensic evidence consistent with her death was also recovered during the investigation.
