One of the men allegedly involved in Sunday's terrorist attack at the famous Bondi Beach in Australia has been tentatively identified by investigators as Naveed Akram.

False social posts claimed suspect Naveed Akram, one of the Bondi Beach shooters, was ex-IDF soldier “David Cohen.” A Facebook profile of Cohen is viral.

SYDNEY: A former colleague of one of the Bondi Beach attackers told a foreign media outlet that Naveed Akram’s background is Indian. In an interview with A Current Affair, former co-worker Lachie said he immediately identified Akram when he saw his photograph online.

Sajid Akram was shot dead at the scene, while Naveed was arrested and remains under police guard in hospital with serious injuries.

A Pakistani-origin man living in Sydney put out of video seeking help to stop the misinformation on social media where his photo was used as that of shooter Naveed Akram, as both of them have the same name.
