Sajid Akram was from Hyderabad in India, local police confirm<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n

Sajid Akram<\/strong>, the alleged gunman shot dead by police during Sunday\u2019s attack on Bondi beach<\/a>, was originally from the southern Indian city of Hyderabad<\/strong> and his family did not know about his \u201cradical mindset\u201d, Indian police said overnight, as reported by Reuters news wire.<\/p>\n

In a statement providing more details about the man alleged to have carried out the attack with his son, police in the southern Indian state of Telangana said Sajid Akram, 50, had got a degree in commerce in Hyderabad, the large and bustling tech and pharma hub that is the state capital.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
