The Bondi Beach shooting in Sydney has sent shockwaves across the world, leaving several people dead and many injured during a public celebration. As investigations move forward, new details have emerged about the attacker’s links to Hyderabad and his strained relationship with his family in India.
Shooter’s Hyderabad Background
According to officials, one of the attackers involved in the Bondi Beach shooting was originally from Hyderabad’s Old City area. He had migrated to Australia in the late 1990s and had been living there for several years. Authorities confirmed that he had visited India only a few times after migrating and maintained minimal contact with his relatives back home. Police officials also stated that there was no criminal record against him in India before he left the country.
Family Cut Ties Years Ago
Family members in Hyderabad said they cut ties with him years ago after his interfaith marriage. They expressed shock over the incident, stating they did not know about his activities or beliefs afterwards.
Radicalisation Not Linked to India
Telangana Police clarified that there is no evidence suggesting the attacker’s radicalisation took place in India. Officials believe his extremist behaviour developed much later, after settling abroad. The family also stated they were unaware of any signs that could have led to such an act of violence.
Global Investigation Continues
Australian authorities have called the Bondi Beach shooting a terror-related attack, launching a major investigation into the attacker’s radicalisation and possible links. The incident has renewed global concerns about public safety and extremism.
