“Bhatt has been denied bond twice before,” Prince William Times reported. “Irving also denied Bhatt bond once before on Sept. 20, 2024… At the time, Irving held a lengthy hearing in which prosecutors presented evidence… and said the evidence brought by the prosecutors was ‘overwhelming.’”

Naresh Bhatt, 39, has been jailed since August 2024 on first-degree murder and defiling a dead body charges in the presumed death of his wife, Mamta Kafle Bhatt, who vanished in July 2024. His public defender filed a new bond motion that will be heard Wednesday morning in Prince William County Circuit Court. No new details on changed circumstances were released.
