Officer Daniel Auderer's body cam recorded him saying Jaahnavi Kandula's life had "limited value".

A US police officer has been fired for making “vile” and “callous” comments about an Indian student’s death last year.

The Seattle Police Department has fired officer Daniel Auderer for comments he made about Jaahnavi Kandula’s death in January, The Seattle Times reported.

Kandula, 23, was fatally struck down by another police vehicle while she was crossing a street near her university.

Mr Auderer - who was responding to the incident - was recorded saying that the Indian student’s life had “limited value” and that the city should “just write a cheque”.

The footage was captured on his body camera while he had made a call to a colleague.

    SPOG will sue to get him his job back. The officer that killed her faces no repercussions. He was going 75 mph downtown to get to an OD. He was fired from his last department because of his reckless driving.
