HYDERABAD: The Indian officials have confirmed that Bondi Beach attacker Sajid Akram was a resident of Hyderabad.
The police of Telangana revealed that Sajid Akram graduated with a degree in commerce in Hyderabad. And later left the country in 1998 to travel to Australia.
Since he left, he came back to India 6 times to visit family or handle property affairs. But his relatives allege that they had no idea of radicalism or extremist actions whatsoever.
Sajid Akram, 50, and his son Naveed, 24, are accused of a mass shooting at a Hanukkah event.
As a result, the fatal attack resulted in fifteen dead and twenty-two injured people.
A suspicious trip that the two had made to the Philippines last month is now under investigation by the investigators. Sajid was an Indian using an Indian passport, and his son Naveed Australian passport.
The Australian government suspects that this trip could be related to receiving terrorist training or terrorist extremist terrorist groups.
Naveed, on the other hand, just came out of a coma in a Sydney hospital and is now formally charged with the massacre.
Indian officials are insistent that Sajid became radicalised outside of India.
At the moment, the case of the two countries is still being investigated to bring to light the magnitude of the plot.
