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.

Australian police said one shooter died and the other suffered "critical injuries" after they opened fire on a Hanukkah celebration.

One of the alleged terrorists in Bondi’s terror attack was originally from India and had travelled back to his native country six times since migrating to Australia.

Bondi terrorist Sajid Akram was known to police and questioned by ASIO, almost four years before he was granted a firearms license and six years before Sunday’s deadly attack.

Amid an ongoing investigation regarding the Bondi Beach attack in Australia, police carried out an operation in a Sydney suburb with heavily armed officers ramming a car and detaining 7 men on Thursday.
