Viral clip claiming Owaisi identified Bondi Beach attackers as Indians is edited
Recently, on December 14, 2025, two gunmen carried out the deadliest mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. The attack was carried out by a father-son duo, identified as 50-year-old Sajid Akram and his 24-year-old son, Naveed Akram. They deliberately targeted Hanukkah celebrations, killing sixteen people and injuring several others. The father was shot dead by police, and Naveed was arrested at the scene.
Following this, there has been considerable debate online regarding the identity and background of the Bondi Beach attackers. Several accounts linked to Pakistan have emerged alleging that the attackers were of Indian origin living in Australia. However, Australian police have not confirmed the attackers’ background. To support this claim, a 50 seconds clip of Palki Sharma and Asaduddin Owaisi is being shared alleging that in an explosive interview with Palki Sharma, Owaisi exposes the identity of the Bondi Beach attackers as Indian NRIs from Uttar Pradesh.
Sharing the video, the handle Whistle Blower wrote, “Asad Ud Din Owaisi in an explosive interview with Palki Sharma exposes the identity of Bondi Beach attackers as Indian NRI’s from Uttar Pradesh, whom identity has been known to him since 2 decades. The reality is finally coming out.” (Archived link)
Another handle Dukhter Afghan asserted, “Asad Ud Din Owaisi in an explosive interview with Palki Sharma exposes the identity of Bondi beach attackers as Indian from Uttar Pradesh, whom identity has been known to him since 2 decades The reality is finally coming out India is spreading terrorism globally.” (Archived link)
The clip was also shared by other handles such as Shaher Bano (Archived link) and Dukhtar Kpk (Archived link).

In our fact-check research, we found that the clip featuring Palki Sharma and Asaduddin Owaisi is digitally manipulated.
The original clip of Palki Sharma is taken from Vantage show dated November 26, 2025, where she reported about China’s tough stance on Taiwan and its rare call with Trump.
Another clip of Owaisi has been taken from an unrelated ANI interview dated October 12, 2025, in which he said that no decision had yet been taken regarding an alliance with the Congress for the Jubilee Hills by poll and emphasized his good relationship with Revanth Reddy.
Two separate clips of Palki Sharma and Owaisi have been edited together and manipulated with digitally altered audio to falsely claim that Owaisi identified the Bondi Beach attackers as Indian NRIs from Uttar Pradesh.
In conclusion, the clip showing Owaisi identifying the Bondi Beach attackers as Indians on Palki Sharma’s show is digitally manipulated. The original clip of Palki Sharma is from her Vantage show, and Owaisi’s footage is taken from an unrelated ANI interview to set a false narrative.
