The Biden administration assured India of a prompt investigation after its ambassador to the US sought action over a video showing a Seattle police officer laughing about the death of Indian student Jaahnavi Kandula. The 23-year-old was killed by a speeding patrol car. Indian officials expressed shock and horror over the incident. They have been assured that the matter is being taken very seriously and monitored from Washington DC to ensure accountability. Earlier, India's consulate in San Francisco called the matter "deeply troubling" and said it was taken up with authorities.
