A few years ago, 23-year-old Indian student Jhanvi Kandula died in a police accident in America. Now his family suffered a second major blow when his father passed away just two days before the announcement of a compensation settlement of US$29 million. On January 23, 2023, Jhanvi was crossing the road when she was hit by a speeding Seattle police vehicle. The officer concerned was responding to an emergency call at that time. It is not appropriate to talk about compensation at the time of mourning. A relative of Jhanvi told news agency PTI that retired police constable Kandula Srikanth died of a heart attack in Kurnool district on February 10. He further said that “Srikanth’s last rites were performed in Adoni on Wednesday as the family grappled with yet another devastating loss.” The family is in mourning at this time and it is not appropriate to talk about the compensation amount. At the same time, Jhanvi was a master’s student in Information Systems at the Seattle campus of Northeastern University.
