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.
