He never wrote anything publicly - all we have are unverified hearsay accounts from Nadia that he wanted the GFM . I do not trust her a bit and none of us have no idea what the brother said or why but the brother has vehemently denied that version.

He publicly asked for the GoFundMe money to be sent to the family (this was before the husband was arrested). Nepal is a very poor country, and opportunist family members are, unfortunately, also a reality.

Not true. Where did he publicly say this?

Not sure why she is getting so much hate. She was the first person who started posting to a local Manassas group on August 11th, and she was the first to create a group advocating and drawing attention to what was happening. Where was everyone else before then? Family coworkers, Nepali Community? These offshoot groups started popping up almost A WEEK later, each having their own different motive, and starting their own Go Fund Me by the time she had already organized 2 searches. She likely has no clue about how to professionally moderate a missing person page and disseminate information. Did anyone else follow the Riley Strain disappearance and all the traction it gained online? I think her only mistake is trying to be too transparent with everyone. Give her a break!

Yes, it is 100% true. He commented in the group. I saw the comment personally. You're welcome to search or find it, by searching for his name (you can figure it out).

Lies, lies- not in the group. Would’ve been easy to verify

Did you follow the Nepali community or her other friends to know what they did or did not do? This is becoming ridiculous! So many people did so much in the background, going to the police multiple times, leaving their jobs, bringing awareness. Just because Nadia’s page became popular doesn’t mean that her friends and community did not do anything. They were the ones who brought Naresh to the cops, they were the ones who knew his every move and begged the cops to arrest him before he left for Nepal. They are the ones who coordinated to get an emergency visa to the parents and got them here. So yea, just because Nadia has a hero complex doesn’t mean she is the one who has moved mountains. There are numerous people who have not slept for weeks working on this!

Suit yourself, but you can easily search for yourself. But it sounds like you have a weird obsession with assuming a bio uncle or grandparents abroad is the best thing for this child.

Woah, I’m not discounting ANY work anyone else has done behind the scenes but all I’m saying is this seems to be the avenue of how the general public found out and the main Go Fund Me that people started donating to, so she was thrust into the spotlight whether she could handle it or not, so I don’t understand shaming her for how she’s trying to be transparent. Like I said, her only mistake is that she is clearly emotionally posting and processing the loss of her friend.

The child might actually be doing best if she is with that friend, not family (and in the U.S. and not Nepal).

To add, I have no skin in the game and am a complete stranger to them. I just know the pattern of abusive families and what Nadia is writing is very believable.

Her family is from Nepal, uneducated and living in a village. What exactly did you think they could do from there? Do you really think their daughter was telling them what was going on? DV is real. Mamta was a victim and victims have a difficult time leaving because they feel trapped or threatened by their abuser and they usually hide the truth from their families. Add to that, the complexity that she had no family here. If a person who is suffering domestic abuse says her friends and family that her husband is apologetic and she wants to give him a chance, I think it is difficult for them to go and report the social services behind her back when she is trying to make relationship work. Also looking at Mamta’s fb profile, she doesn’t seem like a person who would show her pain and difficulties to others. She always looked bubbly, happy and celebrating. She has many posts and videos where shes talking about her husband being the most loving and best person ever. Now, after almost a month, connecting dots and pieces, people know the extent if the abuse she endured. May be her friends and family only knew some bits and pieces but not fully aware of the situation. And I can only imagine the suffering of her parents who havent even found the body of their daughter. Knowing about them from these posts, it seems like they won’t be able to come here, read these posts written in english and defend themselves or say their truth. Therefore, I think the focus should be on finding mamta, getting justice for her and advocating for other women who are being abused to come forward and take steps to come out of the situation rather than indirectly blaming the family and friends again and again for their inaction, adding to their grief and guilt.

Do you know this, or are you making assumptions because you don't know anything about Nepal?

Disgusting! I do not believe any of the things shes saying here. So she Nadia was the only one aware of all of this and everyone else is lying uhmm okay..

I have been extremely reluctant to make this post, and I know that the backlash from this post will be unlike backlash I have received before. Unfortunately, I am committed to the truth, regardless of how ugly it is. I do not gain anything from saying this, I may actually need a lawyer after this. I have gotten so many messages from women who are survivors of domestic abuse who resonate with Mamta. I know this page is about her, but it is also about domestic abuse. So many people don't understand how domestic abuse can arise, and I feel that I have the platform to warn others. Domestic abuse thrives off shaming victims into silence. Their tactics include blame shifting, gaslighting, and manipulation. Today, I am not going to be silenced. I am going to say her truth, come what may, because I love her, and I love women.
-Mamta's parents knew Naresh's family. They arranged for them to meet. There was no way for Mamta to meet him otherwise, as he already lived in the United States. Mamta did feel a connection to Naresh, and she agreed to the arrangement. She had never dated any man prior to this. She was committed to being the perfect daughter and wife.
- The abuse Mamta faced was not a secret. Not only did Naresh abuse her, but his mother also abused Mamta. In an interview, family members described how she was starved by both Naresh and his mother after she had her baby. In one instance, Naresh tripped in the bathroom and Mamta made a snide remark in Nepali (something along the lines of, well done). Both Naresh and his mother, Prabatti Bhatt, beat Mamta until she was black and blue.
-Unfortunately, Mamta's family was well aware of her situation. Friends were also aware. She was not provided with the support she needed to leave. Her family is now deleting evidence of the fact that they were aware, and in their most recent interview they are claiming that Mamta did not have an arranged marriage and that they were not aware of the abuse she faced. I am not sure why they are changing their story, all I know is that they are. I am not going to publicly speculate, I'm just giving you the facts.
-In February 2024, Mamta became so afraid that she did, in fact, call the police. However, upon looking at her husband's face she felt guilty of betraying him. So she lied to the police when they arrived.
- Naresh kicked Mamta out of the house and completely drained their joint bank account. He canceled her phone plan and took her phone. He left her with nothing. At this time she went to stay with a friend, who did not call the police. She did provide Mamta with a second cell phone and helped her create her own bank account.
-Mamta did not have the familial or community support she needed. She tried to speak with a social worker, she tried to speak with community leaders (some have even gone on to publicly express that Naresh was not a suspect, if you remember). There is no record of Naresh having a violent history because everyone involved failed to report it.
-Mamta began looking for help online. She wasn't aware of the resources available to her, and she was deeply trusting. She did not know what her rights were, and believed Naresh when he said that he could take away the baby's custody and give her up for adoption if she tried to leave him.
-Naresh was also sexually abusing her.

YOU have the right to make a report to the police when you are abused. Even if you don't want to press charges, having a documented police report can help you in the long run should you need to pursue legal action, including a restraining order or custody petition. Documenting the abuse is critical, even if you don't think it's important or are afraid. Furthermore, if you witness something, report it. It is far better to lose a friendship than to lose a friend. There are so many resources available to us, but we are not made aware.

Why wouldn't you believe this? Are you one of the husband's family members?

The only thing I have issue with is -- how could no one she worked with not see black and blue bruises?

[Anonymous]

Is it true that he had a birthday party for the baby and some of the attendees were the ones who called the police to search again?

I saw it on the FB group! (Not the one Nadia runs). Search that group and there are screen shots.

Dp- there are videos of them!

Nadia isn't even going to the Gatherings for Mamta. Today she says:

"yes, I haven’t gone either because I don’t want to be filmed crying"

What a joke. If she was really your friend you wouldn't care if you were, potentially, filmed crying. Bring tissues, wear a hat, bury your face in a friend.

I haven't been following that FB group but I believe everything Nadia says in this post. That part where she describes Mamta being beaten after she made the remark is exactly how an abusive partner would behave. His mother was likely beaten as well by her husband, so they truly believed this was a normal way to react.
