Manassas Park, Pa.

Police in Virginia have taken the husband of a missing mother into custody after searching the family’s home Thursday.

Mamta Kafle Bhatt was last seen in Manassas Park weeks ago and is now presumed dead, according to Manassas Park Police Chief Mario Lugo.

WJLA reports that her husband, Naresh Bhatt, has been charged with prohibition against concealment of a dead body in connection to her disappearance.

Officers responded to the Bhatt home on Aug. 2 following a welfare check request from her employer.

However, police say her husband didn’t report her missing until three days later.

Naresh Bhatt had been previously named a person of interest in the case and stopped cooperating with the police investigation, Lugo shared.

The couple’s infant daughter, who turned 1-year-old over the weekend, was also taken out of the family home by authorities.

Police said additional investigative leads may lead to further charges against Naresh Bhatt who is currently being held without bond.

The Manassas Park Police Department said it is continuing its investigation into Mamta Kafle Bhatt’s disappearance.
