The shocking and gutting roadkill incident that resulted in the passing of Telugu-native Jaahnavi Kandula is still fresh in the memory of the Telugu community. The incident happened in Seattle, Washington as Seattle cop Kevin Dave hit Jaahnavi with his car and the latter succumbed to the injuries.
Now, the Indian Consulate General in Seattle has reacted on the matter and has announced that the case has been forwarded for a review to Seattle Attorney's Office.
On the recently released investigation report of the King County Prosecution Attorney on the unfortunate death of Jaahnavi Kandula, Consulate has been in regular touch with the designated family representatives and will continue to extend all possible support in ensuring justice for Jaahnavi and her family.
We have also raised the matter strongly with local authorities, including Seattle Police for appropriate redress. The case has now been referred to Seattle City Attorney’s office for review.
We await completion of Seattle Police's administrative investigation and will continue to monitor progress on the case, the statement from the consulate read.
