Bhadreshkumar Patel, a 34-year-old man from Gujarat, has been added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list for allegedly killing his wife, Palak Patel, in 2015 at a donut shop in Hanover, Maryland. Palak, 21, was reportedly struck multiple times with an object while working alongside Patel. CCTV footage showed the couple walking into the kitchen, after which Palak’s body was later found by a customer who alerted police. Investigators believe the murder stemmed from Palak’s desire to return to India—something Patel strongly opposed. Both were living in the U.S. on expired visas. A federal arrest warrant was issued eight days after the incident. Patel faces multiple charges including first- and second-degree murder, assault, and possession of a dangerous weapon. His last known location was in Newark, New Jersey, but authorities suspect he may have fled to Canada or returned to India. He may be hiding with relatives. The FBI considers him "armed and extremely dangerous" and has increased his bounty from $100,000 to $250,000. Police and federal officials continue to urge the public for information, emphasizing the ongoing threat Patel poses while at large.
