Killing of Rishi Chandrikasing

[2][3] On 23 November 2012, he went out to a club for his cousin's birthday and then in the morning headed to his mother's house, to bid farewell to his grandmother who was travelling to Suriname that day.

At 6:00 am on 24 November 2012, three police officers went to Hollands Spoor railway station, having been informed there was someone who was making threats with a firearm.

By December, the family of Chandrikasing had lost patience with the investigation and launched a civil case against the officer who had shot him.

[4] They also made formal complaints against the person who had told the police there was someone at the station acting in a threatening manner and against the municipality of the Hague because information about Chandrikasing's criminal record had been leaked.

The report itself questioned why the officer had shot whilst moving, in direct contravention of guidelines, and asked why he had not aimed at the legs.

[4] At trial in December 2013, the Hague court announced that the anonymous police officer was cleared of the charges of manslaughter and murder.

[10] Dutch playwright Kees Roorda wrote a play based on first hand accounts of the shooting called Rishi.
