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 there seemed unaware of his alleged “radical mindset”, Indian police said on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the second alleged gunman, who was hospitalised after also being shot by police, awoke from a coma and may be charged as early as Wednesday.
