The tragic death of Jaahnavi Kandula in the United States left people in both India and abroad heartbroken. The young Telugu student lost her life in Seattle after being struck by a police vehicle, an incident that sparked widespread outrage and emotional debate.
After prolonged legal proceedings, Seattle authorities announced a compensation of 29 million dollars approximately Rs 260 crore to Jaahnavi’s family. While the financial settlement drew significant attention, it is the family’s response that is now touching many hearts.
According to a close relative who shared the update on social media, Jaahnavi’s mother, Vijayalakshmi, is considering donating a major portion of the compensation to Northeastern University, where Jaahnavi was pursuing her studies. The family reportedly feels deep gratitude toward the university and Jaahnavi’s friends, who stood by them from the time of the tragic incident until her mortal remains were brought back to India and throughout the legal battle that followed.
The grief-stricken family faced another devastating blow when Jaahnavi’s father, Srikanth, passed away due to a heart attack just days before the compensation was officially announced. Relatives say he was unable to cope with the immense sorrow of losing his daughter. Those close to the family reveal that they are emotionally shattered and are not focused on the monetary aspect of the settlement.
There are also reports that Vijayalakshmi is planning to establish the Jaahnavi Kandula Memorial Foundation. The proposed foundation is expected to focus on student safety awareness, scholarships for Indian students pursuing education abroad, and support systems for single-parent families.
The family’s reported decision has drawn widespread admiration, with many describing it as a powerful gesture of dignity, gratitude, and compassion even in the face of unimaginable loss.
