Washington, September 16

An online petition signed by thousands of people has sought termination of Seattle Police Department, Officer Daniel Auderer, who was found making insensitive comments after the horrific death of Indian student Jaahnavi Kandula.

However, the Seattle Police Officers’ Guild has defended the callous remarks of its official, saying some viral videos of police actions shared by media were taken “out of context”.

By Friday night, the petition on Change.org had more than 6,700 signatures. “Let us stand united against those who abuse power and demand justice for Jaahnavi and all victims who have suffered due to Daniel Auderer’s actions,” the petition says.

Seattle Council member Kshama Sawant in a statement called for an immediate, independent, public investigation into this outrage.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
