"In a statement providing more details about one of the men alleged to have carried out the attack, police in the southern Indian state of Telangana said Sajid Akram, 50, attained a degree in commerce in Hyderabad, the large and bustling tech and pharma hub that is the state capital. Akram then moved to Australia in November 1998 to find work and married a woman described as of European origin, with whom he had a son and a daughter."
"He went back to India six times for family-related reasons such as property matters and to visit his parents but did not return when his father died, the police statement said. It said Akram's family seemed unaware of any alleged radicalisation and local police had no adverse record of him before he left in 1998. The family members have expressed no knowledge of his radical mindset or activities, nor of the circumstances that led to his radicalis"
The Bondi Beach attack killed fifteen people at a Hanukah event and wounded twenty-two, with three in critical condition and others stable. The attack is being investigated as an act of terrorism targeting the Jewish community. The alleged gunman shot dead at the scene was originally from Hyderabad; his family in the city appeared unaware of any radical mindset. The second alleged gunman has awoken from a coma and may face charges imminently. Funerals will be held for victims including Rabbi Eli Schlanger and Rabbi Yaakov Levitan, with Schlanger's funeral at the Chabad of Bondi near the attack site. One suspect, Sajid Akram, moved to Australia in 1998, married and travelled to India multiple times but reportedly left after his father's death.
