NRI Admitted Dumping Wife’s Body, Denied Killing Her

An Indian-origin man in the United States has been found guilty of murdering his wife in a case that shocked the local community. The most disturbing part is that he admitted disposing of her body but continued to deny killing her.

Naresh Bhatt was accused of murdering his wife, Mamta Kafle Bhatt, a nurse from Nepal who was living with him in Virginia. She went missing in July 2024, leaving behind their infant daughter.

When Mamta failed to return to work, concerns grew among her colleagues. Police began investigating her disappearance and soon found blood evidence inside the couple’s house.

During the trial, Naresh made a shocking admission. He claimed that he found his wife dead at home and panicked. Instead of informing the police, he said he cut up her body and disposed of the remains in different places.

However, prosecutors argued that he had murdered Mamta and tried to destroy the evidence to escape the case.

The jury found Naresh guilty of first-degree murder and other charges on November 10, 2026. Despite his claims, he could not convince the jury that he was innocent.

The biggest mystery is that Mamta’s body has still not been found. Their young daughter was left without her mother, while the case has raised disturbing questions about what happened inside the family home.
