KTR Appeals to the Centre: Demands Justice for Jahnavi’s Family

In the United States, an American police officer who killed Telugu student Jahnavi Kandula by hitting her with his vehicle was released by a US court citing a lack of proper evidence. KTR expressed his grief over this decision. Regarding this issue, KTR appealed for immediate intervention by the American Embassy, urging them to communicate with the US authorities to ensure justice for Jahnavi Kandula’s family.

KTR said that “Indian External Affairs Minister Dr S. Jaishankar should have to promptly intervened in the situation and should be in communication with the US government, urging for an independent and unbiased investigation into the incident, ensuring that justice is served without any discrimination”. It is deeply saddening that Jahnavi, who went to America with high aspirations, tragically lost her life in an accident. However, it is even more distressing that justice for her seems to be slipping away, making the situation profoundly more grievous.
