US: Cop Who Laughed Off At Indian's Death Was Sacked!

In an unfortunate incident, an Indian student named Jahnavi Kandula breathed her last after being hit by a patrolling vehicle in the United States. The incident raised many concerns. As if that was not enough a police officer's objectionable response to the incident gave birth to severe criticism.

Days after the incident, an officer named Daniel Auderer who was designated with the job to see if the officer who hit the Indian student was under any influence. But the bodycam footage showed Daniel Auderer laughing off at the death. This led to a massive outrage and a strong demand for action against the cop.

The officer said the girl had a limited value and it would be enough to write a cheque. The Seattle Police Officers Guild ordered an inquiry. The Police body later said that only a portion of the conversation was recorded.

Now Daniel Auderer, Vice President of the Seattle Police Officers Guild faced a big blow after he was removed from the patrolling duty. The cop will be assigned some non-operational position.

As per the media reports, Daniel Auderer was taken from the patrolling job. Earlier a commission advised that the cop should be kept on suspension and his salary should be stopped. But the shcp0king decision was taken.

On the other hand, the cop is facing a case in the court and the verdict in the case is expected to come out soon. Amid this, the decision was taken which can be seen as a big shock for the cop.

Talking about the case, 26-year-old Indian student Jahnavi Kandula was hit by a patrolling vehicle in January. It is said that the cop was driving the car at a high speed. Jahnavi was admitted to a nearby hospital but she passed away while undergoing treatment. She was a graduate student at Seattle's Northeastern University.
