No, he has a bond hearing on Monday. In some alternate universe where he was granted bond, he still wouldn’t get his child back.

will you please tell us what a bond hearing is, thank you!

"Virginia law requires a judge to grant a bond unless they have probable cause to believe that the accused will not appear at a trial or hearing. Furthermore, bond may be denied if there is probable cause to believe that the freedom of the accused individual will constitute an unreasonable danger to themselves or another person.

When establishing probable cause, a prosecutor must simply prove to the judge that there is relevant information about you that makes it likely that you pose a flight risk or a risk of danger."

Given that passports and suitcases were visible to LE when they entered, and given the nature of the crime, extremely unlikely to have an outcome other than being held. MOOO.

Thank you for replying with Virginia Law. I think when we are dealing with communities that are not based in the US, it's helpful to give additional detail, especially people in the media or "influencers". These threads are so helpful so that correct information is shared, (including from me). Thank you, thank you!

Exactly. You have all of that, with the addition of the underlying crime being murder. He’s not charged with that yet, but it’s coming.

Thank you. In my opinion, having someone with law experience give reaction or expert opinions in these types of cases (meaning from Immigrant communities) navigating the US legal system would add such value to the existing conversation or coverage of this case. I appreciate you all giving us more insight into what's ahead, or potentially ahead.

Welcome to Websleuths !!!

Sad for the reason you are here.
Please, feel free to ask any questions. We will try our best to find the correct information.

I do not feel he will be given a bond on Monday. He was packed up, probably going to flee the country.

If he is give a cash bond amount, I would think it would be a very high dollar amount.

My opinion only...

Grateful to you and others showing up in person. I know this will be meaningful to Mamta's family whom I believe are now in the US.

This is the most connected I've ever felt as an American. Grateful for your response. Lastly, agreed that this sad situation has brought us closer than ever before.

I wish I could be there, but I am just the one posting the Senator's tweet here. And, another Welcome to Websleuths from me!

I'm so glad that people like Naresh Bhatt are as stupid as they are evil. Makes the gathering of evidence and building the case part of things, easy. JMO.

I am not sure it will be easy. He does have something of Patrick Frazee in him. Frazee was unbelievably stupid, and even involved another person who later testified against him and yet, the body itself wasn’t found. Yet there was a load of circumstantial evidence to deem him guilty of murder. I think the same may happen here - Bhatt has left too many breadcrumbs that will, hopefully, be enough for indirect evidence of the crime. Bhatt will also be hiding behind “poor knowledge of English” although it is a lie as he held different jobs here. But, he has a translator and if he is not allowed communication with smarter relatives he’ll dig own grave soon.

"In an interview with WUSA last week,
Bhatt said he was worried about where his wife may be
and it was not the first time she had gone missing.

'I’m the one who is suffering.
She is my baby’s mom.
She is my wife.
I’m the one suffering,
so I don’t know what I’m supposed to say'.”

Thank you that transcription Dotta.

I will help him with an answer to this last question. (In case his lawyer is reading here perhaps.) /sarc

What you are supposed to say is this: “what happened, and where have you placed your wife’s remains? And those of the unborn infant?” (IIRC). “You know, the kind woman that mothered your children….. and apparently was paying several or most of the bills?”
