Telangana Police say Bondi Beach shooting suspect Sajid Akram left Hyderabad in 1998, had limited contact with family in India and lived in Australia for nearly three decades.

Sajid was killed by police at the scene, while Naveed, who had been in a coma, regained consciousness on Wednesday and is expected to be questioned once medically cleared.

The suspected gunmen, who killed at least 15 in the Bondi Beach terror attack in Australia, have been identified as a father-son duo. Sajid Akram was a 50-year-old fruit seller who was killed at the scene,

The Hyderabad residence of Sajid Akram, one of the two men identified as attackers in the Sydney shooting, was found locked and vacant when reporters visited the premises this week, even as police indicated that his brother is believed to be staying there.

Akram, 50, and his son Naveed Akram, 24, carried out the attack during a public Hanukkah celebration. Fifteen members of the public were killed, along with Naveed Akram. Investigators in Australia have said the pair were inspired by ISIS ideology.

Sajid Akram, a gunman in the Bondi Beach shooting, had minimal contact with his Hyderabad family, who disowned him after his marriage. The family denies knowledge of his radicalisation, which investigators believe is unrelated to Indian influences.

The alleged gunman shot dead by police during Sunday's attack on Australia's Bondi beach was originally from the southern Indian city of Hyderabad and his family did not know about his "radical mindset",

Indian police said on Tuesday that one of the two gunmen behind Australia's Bondi Beach mass shootings, Sajid Akram, was an Indian citizen who had left the country 27 years ago.

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.
