Following the identification of her remains by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office on May 1, the handover process began with the consent of her family. Golam Mortoza, Press Minister at the Washington Embassy, stated that Brishti’s first Janaza will be held in Tampa, Florida, on Wednesday, May 6, at 2:00 PM. Subsequently, the Embassy and the Miami Consulate General will take the necessary steps to send her remains to Dhaka as soon as possible.
