Sajid Akram, originally from Hyderabad, has been identified as a suspect in the recent mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Australia, according to the Telangana Police. He relocated to Australia 27 years ago and has since maintained only limited contact with his family back in Hyderabad.

The Telangana Director General of Police's office stated that the factors leading to the radicalisation of Sajid and his son Naveed Akram do not appear to be connected to India or any local influences within Telangana.

Sajid completed his Bachelor of Commerce degree in Hyderabad before moving to Australia in search of job opportunities in November 1998.
