Hundreds of members of the Nepali community in Northern Virginia gathered at Signal Hill Park Pavilion in Manassas Park on August 24, 2024, to demonstrate support for Mamta Kafle Bhatt, who has been missing since July 31, 2024.
Friends and neighbors also attended the peaceful demonstration, holding signs demanding “Justice4Mamta,” and expressing their determination to find her. They also held signs such as “Justice will be served,” “Strong women fighting for justice,” “We want justice for Mamta,” and “We will never give up on Mamta.”
Kafle Bhatt’s husband, Naresh Bhatt, was arrested on August 23rd, due to inconsistencies in his statements and lack of cooperation with authorities. The police also found blood stains and additional evidence suggesting her husband’s involvement in her disappearance.
While he remains in police custody on a felony charge, the search for Kafle Bhatt continues.
