Bodycam footage of a police officer joking about the death of a 23-year-old Indian student after she was struck by a speeding police patrol car earlier this year in Seattle has prompted India to raise the matter strongly with the US authorities for a thorough investigation and action against those guilty in the case.
Jaahnavi Kandula was killed in January after she was struck by a police vehicle driven by Officer Kevin Dave. He was driving at more than 119 kmph on the way to a report of an overdose, the Seattle Times newspaper reported.

In bodycam footage released on Monday by the Seattle Police Department, Officer Daniel Auderer—the vice president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild—was on a call with the guild’s president, Mike Solan. He laughed several times, saying at one point, “Yeah, just write a cheque. Eleven thousand dollars. She was 26 anyway. She had limited value.”
