Mamta Bhatt's Husband's CHILLING Interrogation Released!

- So did you have anything at all to do with her being missing? - You mean like I have to do? - No. - Nothing? - Nothing. - We have never before seen interrogation video of the husband and father on trial accused of killing his wife, cutting up her body, and then hiding parts across Northern Virginia. Mom Tabat was never seen again. Her body was never recovered. - You last saw her on Wednesday, and you didn't call for like five days. - We'll show you what Naresh Bhat told investigators as suspicion rose in the days after his wife disappeared in the new surveillance video, laying out shocking allegations of what he allegedly did after police say he killed his wife. We're on the case presented by Law and Crime. I'm Chris Stewart. - Naresh Bhat is innocent until proven guilty. I want to be clear of that. But it is eerie to watch the interrogation video that I'm about to show you when you see how calm Naresh Bhat is as he talks to investigators considering what he is accused of doing. And also at the same time, he gave this interview to police nearly two weeks after his wife went missing, but he again is very calm. Now the cornerstone of his defense at trial is investigators have no body. But prosecutors do have a lot of circumstantial evidence. They have alleged bloodstains found in the home. They have power tools with hair fragments on them. And then there's allegations of infidelity, even domestic abuse. - Well, listen, so today's the 12th. We're talking about sometime around the 29th, 30th, 31st, something like that, right? So that's a couple of weeks now. - Yeah. - I know if I was you, I would be concerned about it, right? And when something's that serious going on, you're gonna remember some of these details. - Yeah. - So if I ask you a question, when's the last time you saw her? - Wednesday. - Wednesday. - Yes. - What time? - About eight, something like that. - Prosecutors just played this interrogation video for the first time. It happened at the Manassas Park, Virginia Police Department roughly 12 days after Mamta Bhat went missing in 2024. Mamta Bhat was a 28-year-old pediatric nurse. She was a new mom. She lived outside Washington, DC with her husband, Naresh. The last person other than Naresh to speak with Mamta was her mom. They did a video call on July 29th, 2024. And after that, Naresh is the last person to see her. Now, friends have testified that it just doesn't make sense that Mamta would disappear or go away on her own, especially considering she was a new mom. She would never leave that baby girl, according to friends who have testified at trial. Now, Naresh Bhat has claimed that the last time he saw his wife was July 31st and he says she just left. Now, coworkers called police on August 2nd when Mamta didn't show up to work. Police then went to her house for a welfare check and Naresh answered the door and the couple's baby was in his arms. - I just wanted to come to the door now. - Okay. - Is it her? - You can ask. - Oh, no, no. - Hello. - Hello, sir, how are you? I'm Officer Tim in Aspark, please. We're looking for Ms. Mamta Khafle. - Yeah, we see, like, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Mamta Khafle. - Okay. - Yeah, we're looking for Mamta Khafle. - Okay. - She left and then she says she's gonna go either New York or Texas and then she left, like, she had the phone and then she destroyed that phone and then she left. - So she destroyed the phone and she left? She said she was going to New York. - Yeah, her sister, like, one of her sister. - Okay. Do you have any of their contact information? - Yeah, I, like, she has different three phones. I do have, like, two phone numbers. One phone number, somebody other receiving, one another contact number for the New York, I do have. - Okay, can you show me that, please? Can you hand that in for us? - Can we get those phone numbers from you? - Yeah, we just want to see if she's okay because we have an employer calling to check. - Hi. - Hi. - Did she say why she left? - Yeah, because, you know, like, we are about to separate and then the home inspection come here to, I'm about to sell the home. So, you know, like, she wanna say, like, okay, I wanna go, you know, with my sisters and then she used to work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. - Okay. - And then sometimes she, I don't know where, you can come inside or I can come outside. - This is up to you, sir. - Up to you, sir, yeah. - And, you know, like, she used to live in a false house. I don't know the exact address. I know the building because, you know, I see notice there because, you know, I saw her email and then one place over there and then I don't know, somewhere in Manassas because on the 8th, I think, like, on the 8th, she started a job. - Last month? - No, no, yeah, last month, sorry. - Okay, okay. - On the 8th, so, you know, I'm not working since that. She say, like, you know, she gonna be stay there and then once she gonna be everything settle down, she will take the baby. She not gonna leave the baby with me. That's what she said. I know the building in false house where she was. Still, she's living over there or Texas because I already conversation with her sister. She just did not reply me and then, you know, she was asking me and then her mom and then her mom is also asking for me. I don't know where is she. - Nuresh claimed his wife had a history of leaving without telling him. Three days later on August 5th, Nuresh filed a missing persons report. At that point in time, suspicion had really started to heat up on him that he might have had something to do with the disappearance of his wife, but he's denied it. He even went to talk about it on local television. At trial, prosecutors have also played surveillance video showing Nuresh dumping what appears to be trash in the days surrounding his wife's disappearance. Police arrested Nuresh on August 22nd, 2024. 10 days prior to that, he did an interview at the police station. - So what's going on with this case? As far as you know, what's the allegation or what's happened? - Oh, once, like, you know, my wife missed, you know, like, and then a lot of, you know, like people around this community and then, you know, our people, somebody saying like missing because, you know, like, I don't know where she goes. She had, like, a third or fourth times, you know, like sometimes keep going back and forth, back and forth. - Back and forth where? - Sometimes, you know, false shots and sometimes, you know, with friends, you know, sometimes the menaces. And at this time, you know, like, she didn't come back and then never show up on her work. So that made us worried and then, you know, then I complained to the police. Yeah, and then, you know, I'm talking to their families, stuff like that. We're going to do a bunch of discussion more about you, but we are going to come back and talk about that. I just want to make sure that we were on the same page. - During this interview, Naresh tells the detective he's from Nepal and he's been in the U.S. for about eight years and he says that his marriage to Manta was arranged. - How long had you known each other? - Oh, it's kind of, you know, like, not like here, it's kind of arranged marriage. And then we used to talk over the phone and then, you know, our parents meet and we decided, you know, like, yeah, we are good for each other and then, you know, we get married. It's kind of arranged marriage, but, like, you know, before meeting in person, we were, like, you know, on the phone. - Using the phone and stuff. - Yeah, yeah. - Okay. And my understanding is that you guys have a child together? - Yes, I do. - And how old is the kid? - 11 months. - Okay. What's the kid's name? -. - Girl? - Girl. - Girl? - Girl. - Okay. - Okay. How would you describe your general physical condition today? - I mean, like, a. - How are you feeling? - Yeah, I'm feeling, like, really exhausted, tired.

When did you eat? - Just rice. - Rice? - Yeah. - Okay. - The detective establishes who Naresh is and then he asks a pretty interesting question. - All right. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being. - Yeah. - 1 being. - Yeah. - 1 being. - Yeah. - 2 being. - You're not honest at all. You lie about everything. - Mm-hmm. - And 10 being you're a unicorn and you don't lie about anything. You never lie. Right? How would you put yourself? - No, I never lie. - You never lie? - Never lie. You know, sometimes if it's, like, you know, completely or some scenario, like, joking, that's fine. You know, like, usually I don't lie. I don't lie. - Okay. So, you would put yourself, like, 8 or 9? - Maybe 10. - Or maybe 10? - Yeah. - Okay. - Okay. - So, you would put yourself, like, 10? - Yeah. - How would you describe your guys' relationship? - Very good. - Very good? - Yeah, like in the last time, it was somewhere in, it was like a cold season, January, February, somewhere. At that time, we have like a little bit down. It wasn't like, you know, excellent, like not excellent, it wasn't very good. So, and then after, before that, like, you know, after that, it's kind of like very good. And even like, you know, when I deploy, you know, like, I bring my wife, you know, in the deployment as well. That is like, not authorized by the military, but like, you know, on average, let's go there and then stay nearby. So, you know, if I get a free time, let's go there. - So when you say deployment, where did you go? - Wisconsin. - Wisconsin? - Yeah, I was an Afghan allied mission. Like, you know, Afghan refugees being over here, I was part of that mission. - Okay. How long ago was that? - You say like, how long ago? - Yeah, when was that? - I need to say, I don't know the date. Somewhere, like, you know. - Was it this year? - No, not this year. - Okay. - Like, when like that, you know, like something happens and then you just come back from Afghanistan, two years, three years back. - Okay, okay. - Yeah, three years back. - So have you guys ever had any issues other than that? - Other than that means? - Meaning other than that time where you said it was a little rocky in the cold sea. - Yes, yeah. - What is like the worst thing that's ever happened in your guys' relationship? - That is the worst thing, and then at that time, my parents were here, and then usually like, you know, family stuff, I don't need. You know, my wife deal, and then, you know, secretly my parents, you know, it's like, I already mentioned like, you know, some stuff, you know, I do some stuff, she does. So, parents come over here because we have a baby. - Okay. - Yeah. - Because my mom, you know, like when they come over here, and she bring the dad as well, you know, my wife. She bring the dad as well, and then after that, you know, like, she say like, you know, no, you know, like, we should be like, you know, on our own. So, you know, we should send our parents back to the country. And then she say like, you know, they are helping us. You never make your food. You never, like, prepare your, you know, like, different for the work. We already get, like, you know, everything ready. And then we don't need to care only about our baby. They are the one, you know, they take care better than we do. So, she say, no, we have to make an attachment with the baby, this and that. If grandparents are there, baby doesn't wanna go to others, you know. And then she say, okay, then, you know, decided to. And then she say like, you know, if you have to like, stay with the parents, you know, we need to be, you know, like, on our own for, you know, for a few times, like, few months. You know, I will bring on myself, you know, because I have, you know, bring right now. I will bring myself. I'm gonna send myself. We have to take this action. And then I say like, just ignore, you know, like sometimes ladies like, you know, do like, you know, crying. So, I said, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore. And then she say like, if you don't wanna hear me, either I have to leave the home, you know, either we have to, you know, either like, you know, they have to leave the home. It means like, she said either you should leave with the parents or either you should leave with me. Otherwise, I'm leaving the home. I'm not gonna stay like that. - Yeah. - And then parents left. Then it's like, you know, automatically like, it goes to the back. - Yeah. Did you guys ever talk about getting a divorce or anything? - Mm-hmm. - Was it that rocky? - Like, kind of threatening, yeah. - Threatening by who? - Both. - She was threatening you or you were threatening her? - Both. Sometimes me. Yeah, both, you know, like if you don't do this, like, you know, you know, I don't wanna leave with you. You know, sometimes she said, you know, like, I don't wanna leave with you if you do that. You know, like, yeah, kind of threatening. - What were some of those things? - Just like, I mean, some like, you know, like, our parents, you know, stuff like that. - Yeah. Did you guys wanna have a kid? - Yes. - Okay. - Yeah. And that's what she had. - So the plan? - She has, otherwise, like, you know, I was like thinking about, like, you know, like, those stuff I don't care. She cares. I don't care means, like, I don't neglect, but, like, she's the one, you know, who make this type of plan. And even, like, we don't throw, like, you know, what they say, like, small baby diaper changing station, stuff like that, but, like, she has a caesarean section. That's why she say, like, she's a nurse, and then she say, like, for a little bit long, and she has, like, some contraceptive devices. - So she wanted to wait a little bit longer after the C-section for what? - To recover. - To recover? - Yeah, to get another baby. - Oh, so you guys are talking about having another kid? - Yeah. - Okay. Okay, how's your relationship with the kid? - Very good. - Very good? - Very good, excellent. - Okay. - Yeah. - What about her relationship with the kid? - You know, very good. - Even better? - I cannot say like that, because, you know, she's a mother, I'm a father, but, like, baby, you know, always stay wanna with me, you know, because, you know, like, she take care most of the time, and then, you know, she do like this, don't do this, that. So, you know, even, like, I play with the baby, and then whatever she wanna do, let her do. That's why she sometimes happy with me, and then, but, you know, mother is mother. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Okay. - At trial, a friend of Mamta's said that Naresh had cheated on his wife in the past, and she also alleged that he was physically abusive with her. He didn't say anything like that to police, though. - So, as far as this situation that's going on now, has she ever left like this before? - Yes. - For how long? - Exactly, I do not remember. She would, like, she did, like, three, some, three, four times. - Yeah. - And only one time is the, like, longest time. I know she went to the foster house. And before that, before, yeah, before that, couple times, you know, like, here, where I left my baby now. They, those are our friends. And then, we stayed in the house. - Okay. And what's the longest she was ever gone for? - I don't remember. Couple weeks, not the couple weeks. Somewhere like that, 10, 15 days, something like that. - Like, 15 days? - I do not remember exactly. I need to figure that out, but, like-- - Well, was it for, like, one night, or was it for lots of nights? - Lots of nights. - Okay. - Yeah, not one night. - And would she tell you that she was going to do that? - Yeah, that's what, you know, just, I mentioned, like, you know, so you see, like, either, you know, like, parents would go. Either, you know, I'm supposed to be living here. Parents go back home. - Oh. - Okay. So, since the parents went back home, has she ever left like this before? - No. - No. So, tell me about the days leading up to when she left. When did she leave? When did you last see her? - You mean, like, when she left for the false church, or at this time? - No, this time. - At this time, somewhere evening, evening of the Wednesday, somewhere. Like, I don't, because, you know, every time, you don't remember the time, but, like, you know, somewhere. Like, usually, we eat 8:00 to 8:30, sometimes, you know, like, 8:00 to 9:00, like that. Usually, like, not later than 9:00. - And you're saying? - Not later than 9:00. It's between, like, you know, somewhere 7:00 to 8:00, 9:00, because, at home, I do, like, cleaning stuff, mostly. You know, generally, like, cleaning the bathrooms, and, you know, mow the grass, stuff like that. I'm not a good cook. She's a very good cook. - So, you said that was on Wednesday. - Yeah. - Right?

Usually, like, you know, always, not only that day, always, I go upstairs first, because, you know, like, I play with the baby, you know, and then she clean dishes, and then clean the kitchen, and then she go later, and even, like, on that day, it's like, you know, regular routine. She do, like, you know, cleaning, and then cooking, and stuff like that. - Do you guys sleep in the same bed? - Usually we do, but, like, you know, sometimes, if you have to work, or something like that, we don't sleep on the bed now, you know, like, we put, like, a place, like, for the babies, and then we sleep, like, not on the bed, we sleep, like, on the floor. - Okay. - Yeah. - So, you went upstairs, where, what did she do? - Cleaning dishes, and stuff like that. - Okay, and then what? - Then, you know, like, I sleep, make a sleep baby, and then once I make a sleep baby, you know, like, I don't know at what time she come, I fall asleep again, so I don't know at what time she come upstairs, because I have, like, you know, sometimes, you know, if you are, like, on a regular schedule, sometimes if you see some sound, if you hear some sound, you don't, like, you know, pay attention on that. And then that's what same happens, so in the morning, on the same morning, she supposed to get work. - So, on Thursday morning? - Yes. - Okay. - And the people, other four or five people, who live on our home, even they work in the morning as well. So, at the morning, if you see, hear some sounds, you try to ignore those. That's what I have done. - Okay, did you see her on Thursday morning? - Oh, no, I don't see her. Usually, like, no, she doesn't take a shower in the morning. She take a shower once come back from the morning. - Okay. - Yeah, I always take a shower in the morning, she doesn't take a shower in the morning. - Okay. - So, you didn't see her on Thursday morning? - No. - Do you normally see her in the mornings when you guys are getting ready for work? - No. - Okay.

His attorney has pointed out at trial that English is not Naresh's first language, and she's used that as an explanation as to why some of his answers may seem sketchy or inconsistent. - So, did you have the baby with you all day on Thursday? - Uh, on Thursday, no. Yes, yes, yes, yes. - You did? - Baby, yeah. Baby, yeah. So, whenever I go, I put her in a car and then take with me. - Okay.

So, what'd you do for dinner on Thursday? - Rice and dal. - Did you cook it? - No. - Who cooked? - Already cooked. - It was already cooked? - Yeah, she cooked it, and then she put it inside the freezer. Usually, I just, I don't cook more stuff, just rice, put the rice cooker on, press the button, that's what I do. - So, you had to heat it up? - Yeah. - Yeah. - It's not heated up, like, if you put the button, it cook, like, you know. - So, at some point on Thursday night, were you, like, where's she at? - Yeah. - Okay. - And then, you know, like, I went to, you know, like, where I live, left my baby now, just take a look from outside, you know, usually she go over there, and then, you know, like, she stay there, and then, you know, I don't see her. Next, next day, you know, I see, I thought, like, you know, she's doing, like, same thing whenever, like, you know, in the past. She does the same thing. So, you know, like, I don't, you know, like, pay that much attention, like, you know, I just don't see her, and then the phone wasn't linked. I say, like, you know, maybe something, you know, like, say, stay like that. And then next day, and her mother say, like, no, she doesn't make a contact to me, and that, because usually she make a contact with her friend, the friend right now, you know, I'm coming from. And then, because, you know, we were not talking much with her friends, like, there, and then there was, you know, like, she wasn't there, and then police comes on the, some, on the Friday, somewhere, and then I realize, now is something serious. After, like, you know, I know, like, she's not at work, you know, she always focus in the work. Work is, like, you know, highly priority for her, and then she's not at the work, then it should be, like, you know, some serious. And then I talk to the police, and then, you know, like, and then they say, like, if it happens before, and then, you know, something, something like that, just search around, and then, you know, talk to, you know, like, your peoples, and if not, then, you know, you should, like, complain. And I talk to, like, you know, whoever, like, you know, closer, and then she, you know, we don't find, and then, you know, like, she's not in touch with, like, you know, her family, one of her family in New York, not, like, you know, blood family, like, that family. And, you know, then it was, like, serious. So, and I text to the officer, or same officer, alien officer, like, you know, we don't find, we are exhausted, something like that. And then he say, like, you should call 911, and then, you know, make a complaint. - So when did you actually make the complaint? - That was on Monday morning. - Monday? - Morning. - So she, you last saw her on Wednesday, and you didn't call for, like, five days? - No, I was talking with the police. - Okay. - And then, you know, I, the police officer says, you know, like, search around, because how many times it happens before? I say, like, no, it's multiple times. And then, at that time, does she contact with you? I say, no, you know, she doesn't contact. Still, she, you know, remains, you know, in a contact with someone. - Yeah. - So sometimes it takes time, and then, when the longest time she go for the first charge, only she contacted with her mom, and then, before going, like, just contacted the friends, like, now I'm coming from. And her mom say, just go there, and then, I go there, and then, I bring, like, you know, and text to someone, say, come downstairs, she come downstairs, and then, you know, like. At that day, she did not come up, and the next day, she come up, you know, like. Her mother help me to, you know, locate it, like, where it's. - And when that happens, do you guys talk about why she left? - Yeah, because, you know, like, she doesn't wanna leave with the parents. - Was it ever anything else? - What do you mean? - Was there any other reason why she left? - No. - Okay, so the parents aren't there now, so that can't be the reason why she left. - Yeah, because she say, like, the parents are here, you know, like, you are not paying attention to me, you know, like, you are doing your stuff, because, you know, one time, you know, like, I bring my parents to the temple, you know, like, it's for, like, overnight stay, you know, 'cause we follow the Hindu culture, and then, one another day, there's a, in New Jersey, there's a very big temple, and then I bring over there, and then, you know, that was, like, a little bit cold, you know, like, it's, like, you know, snowing, something like that, I don't wanna bring baby, and then she feel like, you know, he's, like, you know, just going here and there with the parents, not focus, like, focusing on the baby and then myself, but, like, the baby, at that time, baby was, like, you know, very close to my dad, like, my mom, her grandmom, so, you know, like, she say, like, you may be giving me a hard time, you don't care about me, because, you know, like, you are going here and there with your parents, you know, you are not bringing me, bringing to me. I say, like, it's, like, cold, and the weather, we have to care about the baby, stuff like that, and then-- - So, what else would you guys fight about, besides the parents? - The main reason is, like, you know, she doesn't wanna stay with the parents, I say, like, you know, like, just be calm, be calm, they are helping us, they are doing for us, like that, you know, like-- - But other than that, what else? - Other than that, like, you know, topic after that you know like some topic we do not have like in a basic talk that is the basic topic other than that sometimes like hey like you know sometimes mom put this cup here why you see I'm cleaning this and that those are like not the big reasons you know like those small reasons you try to see so like no you know because of the parents is

CLB started meditation because you know she said like no no you know like we are like something something and then I'll be started some stuff like that and then we decided we're not gonna have to each other you know max if I like you know we have an argument something like that we're gonna watch the you know like time so just like you know make a healthy conversation if I'm doing something you have to remember like you know what I mean a minute you are not supposed to talk you know like because that's the tips we get from somewhere and you know if seeing she is being like you know something like that so for you to get tips that means you guys were arguing about something so what were those things yeah I'm not saying that I'm not I'm coming on that point sometimes you know like to see say like not something who are multiple times she said let's go for vacation somewhere and then she's working three days I was working three days now it's a tough time because you know in the meantime she doesn't work and if she doesn't works you know we have to be a lot of bills and then stuff like that and then I refuse to go for vacation and then we just go around here like for July this and that and then vacation and then after that you know if we wanna relocate you know sometimes we are thinking about relocate as well she say like she doesn't want to relocate right now if she want to relocate her best place is New York or Texas yeah and she like the California as well but like we never relocate and then I say that we're gonna go California even like we stay in the small house there's a good way that that's the only one part and then she's because she say like you know this and that after that uh she's like no in California our license is not valid we have to again pass the test you know like that momtas friends have said that she would never just leave her baby but Naresh tells police that she has left since becoming a mom so hey since she had the baby has she ever left yes she has since the baby's life yes after the baby not before the baby no before the baby like you know you know like we are kind of you know example wherever you like walking wherever grocery like you know so how old's the baby 11 months the baby's 11 months old yes after she had the baby yes how many times has she just left the baby and not checked on him or checked on her or anything like that three or four times and then there was a like you know a postpartum or something like that why do you say that why do you say that because you know like sometimes you know like after the baby you know like that happens like you know she's kind of sometimes you know frustrated or that happens even we go to the we don't go to the psychiatrist or somewhere she doesn't want to go and we go to the pediatric doctor and the pediatric doctor asked hey like you have like this this this you know like a you know any problem usually like mother does have like this type of issue yeah we didn't like in a few months or a few years not the few years like I can like 10 months or 12 months that means you have like those symptoms she said like no and then you know like at that time you know like before or after doctor's visit I told her why don't you say like something like that she said like sometimes that's why you know we started meditation and stuff like that medication for what no no many is meditation meditation yes Naresh says that Mamta's mood on the day he last saw her was normal do you think something might be wrong with her because it's a long time possibilities I'm not sure but like you know I'm not sure about any any other thing goes but it's still you know like you know like I already told like everybody you know like friends her close friends my close friend my family her family just you know like I don't want to do anything do whatever you want to do you know like do whatever you want to do I don't need any properties just I wanna you know like how are you you know out of these very like you know stressful situation if she's you know trapped somewhere because you know we believe on the horoscope as well I feel like 20 different people you know like they did like with her date of birth and then stuff like that I feel like you know more than 5 or 10 her mom my mom my dad my brother they are going to the horoscope and then some most of them they say like she's like you know trying to give you a hard time this and that and I'm not like fully believe on those stuff but like knowing the bad situation so does she have any any like friends or family that she talks to all the time at that time usually like you know she doesn't like know talk too much with her mother but like no so last time you know her mother knows and then she say like hey oh here here is please and then so we are on the phone and then I figured that out and then my phone was already blocked so I you know like so she's blocking her number yeah and then I call to someone he come down and then she say like because you know I already know that and then I at that time she has a uber receipt as well and then I found that and then she came down and then she unblocked you know that because somebody was like helping us she said okay we will meet you at the hospital I said like okay I will be at the hospital I'm waiting at the hospital but I wasn't waiting at the hospital I was waiting nearby the apartment I see she just come from the apartment and then go to the hospital what apartment was that it was like in false jobs she was sailing with someone do you know who that is no only her mom knows and then but now she forgot the name is it a male or a female I heard like no it's a family male and female both because you know they have an apartment and then she got one room from them and when when was that she went up there to see if maybe you can see her at this time yes you have and what happened nothing nothing yeah because you know I just went over there maybe like you know she has the address that and then you know I wait for the mail and then there are thrown mail as well at the apartment because it's a big deal we check the mail no you know like some some are you know like some care mail and then regular mails I don't see and then we stay there you know sometimes if she comes out or sometimes like that and then you know that if you are a lot with my friends as well I went with my friends as well so what do you think is going on do you think she just wants to leave you or do you think something happened to her I don't think she doesn't want to leave me because you know I know a lot of stuff she doesn't want to leave me just like threatening but at this time you know it's a long enough so do you think that something happened to her hope so you hope so no I mean like you know hope means like I mean like you know I'm not hope means like you know happen something but like you know I'm not sure I know what's going on yeah do you think something that happened to her I don't know then why else would she not be contacting you it's been 10 weeks yeah what do you think could have happened I don't know anything happens I don't know maybe like if she is trying to punish at this time we do not have that I've had argument or that type of fight so you think she might be trying to punish you no at this time that's what I'm saying if she's trying to punish you know why she's punishing me at this time we don't have a fight or we don't have anything why is she on a punishment the detective then asks Naresh point-blank whether he had anything to do with what happened to his wife so did you have anything at all to do with her being missing even like I have to do did you do anything to cause her to be missing no nothing it means like you know I did like argument or something like that yeah did you do anything that caused her any kind of injury have you ever have you guys ever get into a physical altercation before it wasn't like a physical it was like no very long time ago at one time the rice you know like the rice that happens you know like rice was popped up and then that was here and then I was there and then that was like two three something years ago she she dumped the race on you or you dumped the rice on her no see what she doesn't want to don't on me but like by mistake he she was you know angry at that time and then she was doing something and then you know the plate is like no good food like that and then don't on me and then I threw like plate like this and then you know she was like where did it hit her when you did that where did you hit her when you did that no I did not hit her like I threw the plate and then you know like I pushed her and then I was angry whenever we were angry you know like the best thing uh the what every time we do like we don't talk and then we don't eat the food so I say like you know it's not you know you are doing so when was that I think like 21 or something
