The Police buried the body and continued its search as to find out who might know the person. But as the identification papers of the victim were thrown away, the investigation was unfruitful until Robert Manzi show the pictures to Rwandans who lived together with late Bigirimana and recognized him.

Manzi immediately called Rwandan Embassy in India informing it on the death of Bigirimana urging the embassy to exhume the body of Bigirimana and return it to Rwanda.

One of the senior staff members of the Embassy helped in finding out how the body can exhumed and transferred to Rwanda to be buried by Bigirimana’s family members.
