The husband of Mamta Kafle Bhatt, a 28-year-old Virginia mother who has been missing for over three weeks, was taken away in handcuffs outside the couple’s home Thursday morning, according to video from CNN affiliate WJLA. An infant was also carried out of the home under a yellow blanket, video shows, though it’s unclear if it’s the couple’s young daughter. CNN has reached out to Manassas Park Police for comment. The last time Naresh Bhatt saw his wife was at the dinner table more than three weeks ago, he previously told police. He hadn’t seen her since and stopped cooperating with investigators, who executed a search warrant at the couple’s home Wednesday, according to Manassas Park Police. Kafle Bhatt was last seen on July 27 at UVA Health Prince William Medical Center in Manassas, according to police. The next day, she spoke with a friend and on July 31, she was last seen by her husband.
