>>>The infant has been reunited with her maternal grandparents who are from Nepal, Bandita Sharma Dahal, an immigration attorney working with the family, told CNN.

Bhatt has not been formally charged with murder, but the preliminary criminal complaint states that “on or about July 30, 2024, the accused, Naresh Bhatt, murdered his wife, Mamta Bhatt.”<<<

Perhaps. If he married again to someone in Nepal would he get the $ of a dowry? The house and car were listed as being several thousand per month, doubt a basement rental and PT nurse salary covered it. He seemed unable to hold a job long term since leaving the Army. MOOO.

for sure had his eye on that prize!
