Bondi Beach Terror Linked To Hyderabad, India: Attacker’s Final Secret Trip In 2022
- EXCLUSIVE INVESTIGATION: Accused Sajid Akram’s Deep Ties to Hyderabad Revealed
HYDERABAD, 16 December, 2025 (Maxim News): New details have emerged in the sensational Bondi Beach terror case, revealing the deep, yet fractured, Indian roots of one of the attackers, Sajid Akram.
Investigators have confirmed that the approximate 50-year-old Akram, a key figure in the shocking attack, made his final trip to Hyderabad, Telangana, in 2022. This visit marked the sixth and ultimate time he set foot in India, the country where he spent his formative years.
B.Com. from Local College: The Tolichowki Connection
Akram’s past paints a complex picture, tying him directly to the city of Hyderabad:
- Local Resident: Sajid Akram was a former resident of the Toli Chowki area.
- Education: He completed his B.Com. graduation from the prestigious Anwar-ul-Uloom College in Hyderabad.
- Passport: In a startling detail, it has been confirmed that Akram still holds an Indian passport.
PROPERTY FEUD AND A FAILED RETURN?
Sources within the Telangana Police indicate that Akram’s visits were not purely familial. He reportedly had major differences with his brother over property matters. Intriguingly, during one of his visits, he is said to have explored the possibility of permanently settling back in Hyderabad.
- Akram’s father passed away in 2009.
- His mother and brother continue to reside in their Toli Chowki home.
FAMILY DISOWNS TERRORIST: “WE HAD NO IDEA”
Following the gruesome attack, Akram’s surviving family in Hyderabad has moved quickly to publicly distance themselves from the suspect.
Akram’s brother made a desperate plea to the media, stating that the family has “no connection with him” and was completely “unaware of any radical mindset or extremist views.” He further claimed that the family had not been in touch with Sajid for a “few years,” underscoring the apparent estrangement before the attack.
The international investigation continues to piece together the timeline of Akram’s radicalization and why his path—which began with a quiet college life in Hyderabad—ended in a brutal act of terror on Bondi Beach.
