Jaahnavi Kandula’s Grandfather Reacts To Seattle Police Mocking Her Death: “Her Mother Has Stopped Eating…”
Our hearts go out to the family.
America is one of those countries in the world that is known for police brutality cases. Many gut-wrenching cases from the country have come forward where the police have acted in the most uncivilised way towards civilians. Another such case that highlighted how the police there are insensitive and shameless is that of Jaahnavi Kandula. The 23-year-old Indian student died on the spot when she was run over by the Seattle police’s car earlier this year. Video footage of the police who ran her over has gone viral on the internet wherein he is heard laughing over Jaahnavi’s death. Jaanhavi’s family has reacted to this shocking news.

Jaahnavi’s family reacts
Jaahnavi Kandula’s family is shocked and distressed over the release of the footage of the cop who mocked her death. They are questioning why the video has been released so late. “Why wasn’t this information revealed earlier,” asks Jaahnavi’s grandfather. He also talked about how Jaahnavi’s mother brought her up with difficulty and is still unable to come terms to with the fact that her elder daughter is no more.
“But she IS dead…(laughter)…she was a regular person. Just write ‘em a check. $11,000. She was 26 anyway. She had limited value.”
