What happened to Mamta Kafle Bhatt?
Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of True Crime with Kendall Rae. Thank you so much for joining me as always. And if you're new to the show, then welcome. I'm so happy to have you here. So guys, today we're going to be getting into a case that I won't lie. I just want to say right off the bat is extremely disturbing and infuriating as so many of these cases are. But it's definitely one that needs coverage. And it might be one that you're familiar with if you follow true crime news and kind of You know, the latest in high-profile cases. Today, we're going to be discussing the case of Mamta Kafle-Bott, a young mother and nurse who disappeared just last summer. And again, just to warn you, the details in this case are highly disturbing.
And what Mamta likely went through in her final moments of life... It's hard to even comprehend. I have a ton of information to go over today. This is definitely going to be a longer episode. And before I get into it, I did just want to quickly mention how beautiful it has been to see the community behind Mamta and her friends and family who have been rallying for justice. Now, she hasn't quite gotten justice, but I am very confident that that is right around the corner. However, I do have to say, as in cases like this that are ongoing, everyone that I speak about today is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. And with that... Since, as I said, we do have a bunch to go over, let's just go ahead and jump in.
So I want to tell you about Mamta and who she was before her life was stolen from her. The incredibly kind, smart, and beautiful Mamta Kaafli was born and raised in Nepal to her parents, Gita. and Kamal, and she had one brother named Mahesh. Growing up in Nepal, Mamta has been described as an incredibly bright student, and she was someone who did everything to the best of her ability, truly dedicated to everything that she did. So when it came to her education, she went to Bangalore, India in search of better opportunities. And it was there that Mamta became a nurse. And let me tell you, this was the perfect occupation for her because on top of being incredibly smart, she was also very nurturing, empathetic and kind, you know, which all were qualities that made her perfect for that career. And she didn't just study to become a nurse once. She did it twice, first in India and then again in the United States when she moved here. Mamta came to the U.S.
in July of 2021 after getting married to Naresh Bhatt in December of 2020. Now, some sources say that this was an arranged marriage. Others say it wasn't. So I'm not totally sure how this came to be. But the bottom line is the two of them got married and Mamta moved out to the States for him. Now, let me tell you a little bit about Naresh. He's also from Nepal, but he was living as a U.S. citizen in Virginia where he served in the army as an automated logistics specialist. And at one point, he also tried to become a police recruit. But that lasted a whopping 22 days because they said he didn't meet the qualifications. And I guess because of his service, Mamta didn't move in with him right away when she first came to the U.S., and instead she was living with a roommate, a girl named Nadia. And the reason I bring up Nadia is because she was actually one of the first people to witness Naresh's treatment of Mamta.
Apparently, even though he wasn't living with them, he wouldn't let Mamta have her own cell phone or leave the house for longer than five minutes. Naresh is just... very, very controlling. That will become more and more clear as this episode goes on. But, for example, there was one time where Nadia and Mamta were driving to this spice store, and Naresh called Nadia, actually, freaking out, saying his wife wasn't allowed to go, and so the two of them had to quickly turn around and go back. And for reasons that we're not totally sure, you know, and it's a difficult thing, and many people do this, and it's It's more complicated than people understand in violent relationships like this, abusive relationships like this. Mamta kind of always made excuses for why he treated her this way. And I know to a lot of people that doesn't make sense and people are like, why would you stay, you know?
