    MELBOURNE: An Indian-origin man has died days after an Australian police officer allegedly knelt on his neck during an attempted arrest, a media report said on Sunday.Gaurav Kundi, 42, from Modbury North in Adelaide, died surrounded by his family on Thursday after he was hospitalised for an “unrecoverable” brain injury, 7News Australia reported. Police attempted to arrest Kundi on Payneham Rd at Royston Park, alleging it witnessed an “altercation” between him and a woman. The video footage of the incident showed Kundi being forced by police while he and his wife, Amritpal Kaur, loudly protested. “I’ve done nothing wrong,” Kundi shouted. Aus cops say Kundi violently resisted arrest, was drunk; wife refutes claimsPolice said Kundi violently resisted arrest and was intoxicated Kundi was rushed to the hospital after his condition declined and he “became unresponsive” during the attempted arrest. They said Kundi violently resisted the arrest and was intoxicated.They added the couple was allegedly arguing, and a passing patrol reportedly mistook the incident for domestic violence. However, Kaur said his husband was simply drunk and loud, not violent.Meanwhile, South Australian Police commissioner Grant Stevens said they would investigate the incident. The inquiry would review SA Police’s policies, practices, including training regarding responding to incidents. The arrest has been compared to the 2020 George Floyd case in the US. Floyd, 46, was murdered by a police officer, who pressed his knee and weight of his body against the Black American man’s neck.
