The family of Jaahnavi Kandula, the Indian student killed by a police car in Seattle, is distressed over newly released bodycam footage. In it, an officer callously laughs about the incident, saying the 23-year-old had "limited value" and was worth only an 11,000-dollar payout. The insensitive remarks have compounded the grief and trauma faced by Ms. Kandula's parents. Her grandfather questioned why this footage wasn't shared earlier and rejected claims the police vehicle wasn't speeding. The family statement affirmed Jaahnavi's invaluable life and condemned comments belittling the tragic loss. Ms. Kandula was a Northeastern University student due to graduate soon. She was hit by a police car in January while crossing a road.
