Port Augusta City Councillor and a friend of Mr Kundi, Sunny Singh has told SBS Punjabi that it was a time for the community to come together in support of Mr Kundi's family.
"It is a very sad news for all of us. So his condition was very critical from the last two weeks, and his father came from India yesterday and after the doctor suggested that they cannot save him, so they turned all the machines off, and it's a time for all of us to stand with his family", Mr Singh said.
After Mr Kundi's arrest, members of the Indian community in Adelaide submitted a letter to the South Australian Police Minister calling for an independent investigation in the matter. The community has raised concerns that excessive force may have been used during the attempted arrest of Mr Kundi.
South Australia Police confirmed the death is being investigated as a death in police custody.
An internal police inquiry is already underway, with independent oversight from the Director of Public Prosecution, Office of Public Integrity and the State Coroner.
