HYDERABAD: Terror suspect Sajid Akram, the 50-year-old Indian-origin man shot dead by Australian police after Sunday’s deadly attack at Sydney’s Bondi Beach that left 15 people dead, had limited contact with his family in Hyderabad since moving to Australia in November 1998.
Sajid Akram, originally from Hyderabad, India, was a suspect in a mass shooting at Bondi Beach, Australia. He migrated to Australia in 1998 and was radicalized with his son, Naveed. The investigation examines their ties to jihadist networks and their travel to the Philippines for military training.
Sajid Akram was shot dead at the scene, while Naveed was arrested and remains under police guard in hospital with serious injuries.
