Jaahnavi Kandula was killed after being hit by a speeding police car on January 23.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n

The video of a US cop laughing while discussing the death of an Indian student in Seattle has sparked outrage<\/a>, both among lawmakers as well as Indian-Americans. Jaahnavi Kandula was killed after being hit by a speeding police car on January 23. The car was being driven by Officer Kevin Dave<\/p>\n

On Monday, the Seattle Police Department released bodycam footage of another cop, Officer Daniel Auderer joking about the deadly crash and also dismissing the need for a criminal investigation.<\/p>\n

“She is dead,” he says before breaking into laughter while referring to Kandula as a “regular person”.<\/p>\n

The clip ends with him saying: “She was 26 anyway, she had limited value”, getting her age wrong.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old Kandula, who hails from Andhra Pradesh<\/a>, was pursuing a master’s degree from the Northeastern University campus in South Lake Union.<\/p>\n

What happened on January 23?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jaahnavi Kandula<\/a> was walking on the crosswalk, when she was hit by the speeding car being driven by Officer Kevin Dave, according to a Seattle Times report. Kandula was not jaywalking – i.e., crossing the road at any point other than a zebra crossing.<\/p>\n

Kandula was taken to Harbourview Medical Centre, but died due to her injuries.<\/p>\n

Kevin Dave was travelling at 119 km per hour when the accident occurred, the Seattle Police Department said in a report. The preliminary inquiry also determined the speed of the vehicle was the main reason for the collision.<\/p>\n

Dave hit the brakes just a a second before it hit Kandula and was travelling at about 63 miles per hour (101 km per hour) at the time of impact. Kandula was thrown over 100 feet.<\/p>\n

“The speed at which Ofc. DAVE was traveling did not allow [Kandula] or him sufficient time to detect, address and avoid a hazard that presented itself,” said a police conclusion according to a report in PubliCola.<\/p>\n

The speed limit on the street where she was hit was 25 miles per hour, or 40 km per hour.<\/p>\n

A day after the incident, the police said that the officer had been responding to a 911 call from someone who thought they might be overdosing on drugs.<\/p>\n

The Consulate General of India in San Francisco has raised concerns over the recent video and has demanded a thorough investigation and action against those involved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
