The husband of a missing Manassas Park woman whose disappearance this summer galvanized community search efforts and captivated international attention was indicted Monday on upgraded charges of murder and physically defiling a dead body.
Naresh Bhatt, 37, was set for trial next week on a single count of concealing a dead body, a charge levied this summer nearly a month after his wife, Mamta Kafle Bhatt, 28, was last seen in public.
