Mamta Bhatt's Husband Charged With Concealing Body, Arrested, Manassas Park Police Say

Charges have been filed against Naresh Bhatt in his wife's disappearance, police announced.

On Thursday afternoon, Aug. 22, Manassas Park police announced that Naresh Bhatt was charged with prohibition against concealment of dead body after a search warrant was executed at the home he shared with Mamta Kafle Bhatt.

The 28-year-old mother went missing late last month, and her husband was the last person to have spoken to her, police said.

Police did not say whether or not a body was found, and said only that they found additional evidence in their home.

Mamta’s 1-year-old daughter was placed in the care of the Department of Social Services.

Naresh had always been a person of interest, who police say was not cooperating with them.

According to screenshots of Facebook posts shared by Bhatt before her disappearance, the couple had been going through a separation.
