Hyderabad Man's Involvement in Australian Beach Shooting Sparks National Security Concerns

Sajid Akram, originally from Hyderabad, India, was involved in a mass shooting at Bondi Beach, Australia, raising security concerns. Telangana BJP chief N Ramchander Rao emphasized the need for a thorough inquiry into Akram's background and contacts, as the incident tarnishes India's image and highlights a potential security threat.

Sajid Akram, a native of Hyderabad, India, and a suspect in the recent Bondi Beach shooting in Australia that resulted in 15 deaths, has become a point of national security concern.

According to N Ramchander Rao, Telangana BJP chief, the involvement of an Indian in such a terrorist act abroad is both an insult to the nation and indicative of a larger threat that must be addressed. He called for a thorough investigation into Akram's life, migration to Australia, and potential connections to radical groups.

Authorities confirmed that Akram, who was shot dead, had been living in Australia for approximately 27 years after migrating for employment. Federal police have declared the attack as being inspired by Islamic State, prompting urgent calls for action to prevent similar future incidents.
