Editor’s Note: This story includes graphic descriptions some readers may find disturbing. The week after Naresh Bhatt told news reporters he was “suffering” as authorities searched for his missing Virginia wife, he stood before a judge on Friday morning facing accusations he killed her inside their home and dragged her body outside in late July. Naresh Bhatt has not been formally charged with murder in connection with the alleged killing of Mamta Kafle Bhatt, a 28-year-old mother of two, court documents obtained by CNN affiliate WJLA show. He faces a felony charge of prohibition against concealment of a body and he was taken away in handcuffs Thursday after authorities executed a search warrant at the couple’s home. In an interview with WUSA last week, Bhatt said he was worried about where his wife may be and it was not the first time she had gone missing. “I’m the one who is suffering,” he told WUSA. “She is my baby’s mom. She is my wife. I’m the one suffering, so I don’t know what I’m supposed to say.” Bhatt was in court Friday morning for arraignment. The preliminary criminal complaint obtained by WJLA states, “on or about July 30, 2024, the accused, Naresh Bhatt, murdered his wife, Mamta Bhatt.”
