"US Cop Cleared in Death of Indian Student Jaahnavi Kandula Due to Lack of Evidence"

The Seattle police officer who struck and killed Indian student Jaahnavi Kandula while responding to an overdose call will not face criminal charges due to "lack of evidence." The King County Prosecutor's Office stated that they lack sufficient evidence to prove a criminal case beyond a reasonable doubt. Additionally, bodycam footage revealed another officer laughing about the deadly crash, leading to his reassignment and potential termination. The incident occurred when Officer Kevin Dave was driving 74 mph to a drug overdose call, striking Kandula and causing her death.

Controversial Seattle Cop Sparks Outrage with Disrespectful Remarks on Tragic Grad Student's Death

A Seattle police officer, Daniel Auderer, defended his callous remarks and laughter about the death of a graduate student, Jaahnavi Kandula, who was fatally struck by a police cruiser while crossing the street. Auderer claimed his comments were taken out of context during a private call he didn't know was being recorded. The officer had just responded to the fatal crash and was speaking with the Seattle Police Officers Guild President when he made the remarks. Auderer stated that his comments were intended as a mockery of lawyers and the legal system, but acknowledged that they could be interpreted as horrifying and crude without context. The incident is being investigated by the Seattle Office of Police Accountability and the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
