Telangana Police said that one of the gunmen in the Bondi Beach terror attack was originally from Hyderabad, India. Sajid Akram lived in Australia for about 27 years. He and his son opened fire during a Hanukkah event at Bondi Beach in Sydney.
At least 15 people died and many were injured. Police called the incident a terrorist attack. Family members in Hyderabad said they had very little contact with him over the years. They also said they did not know about any extremist views. Officials said Sajid visited India only a few times, most recently in 2022, and he had no criminal history there.
Telangana authorities stressed that they found no connection between India and the radicalisation of the father and son. Investigators are still examining the case and looking into travel records and possible foreign influences. Australian police are managing the broader terror investigation. The focus remains on finding the motive and if any outside groups were involved. Police worldwide are sharing information. The public is urged to avoid speculation as facts are confirmed.
