The disappearance of 28-year-old Mamta Kafle Bhatt has drawn significant attention since she went missing in July, just months after moving to the U.S. from Nepal for an arranged marriage with Naresh Bhatt. Her absence has been particularly distressing as she missed her baby daughter’s first birthday, prompting family members to travel from Nepal to care for the child.
Naresh Bhatt, her husband, was arrested last month on charges of concealing a body, with police alleging that he is responsible for her death. Blood was found in the primary bedroom and bathroom of their home, raising further suspicions.
On Thursday, Naresh Bhatt appeared in court, where a judge granted a defense motion to waive a grand jury, paving the way for a speedy trial. The trial is now expected to proceed within the coming months.
