In a chilling echo of the George Floyd tragedy, 42-year-old Indian-origin man Gaurav Kundi is fighting for his life in Australia after a violent police encounter in Adelaide. Kundi, a father of two, was allegedly tackled and kneed in the neck by police officers after they misread a loud argument between him and his partner, Amritpal Kaur, as a domestic violence incident. Despite Kaur's pleas that he was simply drunk and not violent, police restrained him forcefully. His condition deteriorated on the scene, with Kaur begging officers to take him to the hospital—not the station. Kundi is now on life support with suspected brain damage. South Australia Police have launched an internal investigation and are reviewing bodycam footage. The incident bears painful similarities to the death of George Floyd in 2020, which ignited global protests against racial injustice and police brutality.

Shah, flanked by CM Yogi Adityanath, Deputy CMs Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, and BJP state president Bhupendra Chaudhary, handed over appointment letters to 15 recruits, while thousands of others received theirs at the venue. The recruits, 60,244 in total, were brought to Lucknow in over 1,300 buses from all corners of the state. The Home Minister highlighted the transparency of the recruitment process. 'No bribes, no recommendations, no caste-based favoritism — each of you was selected purely on merit from 48 lakh applications,' he declared, addressing the recruits directly.
