Naresh Bhatt Denies Causing Wife's Facial Bruise Despite Photo Evidence
On November 6, 2026, Naresh Bhatt, while testifying in court, acknowledged seeing photos of bruises on his wife Mamta's face, including one she sent to her brother in early 2024. Bhatt recognized the bruise depicted in the photograph as resembling the mark that prompted cancellation of a family rice ceremony, but he denied causing the injury or ever physically assaulting Mamta. He also admitted knowing Mamta took pictures of injuries but claimed ignorance that she shared them with others. This courtroom exchange adds detail to prior coverage of Bhatt's testimony but does not alter the core allegations or the trial's unresolved questions. The hearing date remains uncertified; the case status is not certified. No verdict or custody details are established. For full context and updates, subscribe to Case Closed.
