Naveed Akram: Bondi terror suspect released from hospital and sent to correctional facility in NSW
The man accused of organizing the Bondi terror attack, which claimed the lives of 15 innocent victims, has been discharged from hospital.
Naveed Akram has been receiving treatment in a North Shore hospital since he was shot during the attack at Bondi Beach on Sunday, December 14.
His father Sajid Akram died at the scene after being shot by the police.
Mr Akram faces 59 charges relating to the worst terror attack on Australian soil.
He is currently being held in a correctional centre, a NSW Police spokesman said in a statement.
“Officers from traffic and highway patrol, pol air and the public order and riot squad assisted the NSW Prison Service in transferring a 24-year-old prisoner from North Shore hospital to a correctional facility as part of Operation Shelter today (Monday, 22 December 2025),” the statement said.
The news came on the same day Downing Center Local Court approved his release. bomb evidence documents this was suppressed.
Mentioning a “Bondi attack” that took place as early as October 2025, the dossier includes extraordinary new photographs capturing the alleged movements of defendants Naveed Akram, 24, and Sajid Akram, 50.
The NSW Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT), made up of members of the NSW Police, Australian Federal Police and ASIO, has prepared a brief for the court detailing the alleged circumstances leading up to the horrific attack.
It has also been revealed that the estranged wife of slain terrorist Sajid Akram claimed that the couple were no longer living together before the deadly shooting.
Reportedly refused to acknowledge ownership of the body.
Verena Akram, who lives in the western Sydney suburb of Bonnyrigg, reportedly handed over 50-year-old Akram’s body to the NSW Government for a pauper burial.
7NEWS reporter Clementine Cuneo first revealed that Verena “wanted nothing to do” with Sajid’s body.
In NSW, if a body is refused by family or friends, the Local Health District (LHD) where the death occurred becomes responsible for the impoverished body.
In some cases, when the deceased is unaccompanied, a funeral service is held, and in other cases, only a wake or cremation is held.
Expenses resulting from the funeral, burial or cremation are then billed and paid by LHD.
