They visited hospital to collect information and approached to the company in Jeddah where the deceased had worked and started to process documents for repatriation.

Since there was no relative of the deceased in Jeddah, Kavitha wife of deceased had to issue power of attorney in the name of Mohammed Ali to complete the formalities to dispatch the dead body to India. Completing all formalities, the body of Hanumantaraya was dispatched on October 15 and it reached hometown very next day.
