It is reported that Sajid still possessed an Indian passport. His family members said that they had severed ties with him many years ago because he had married a Christian woman.

Sajid’s relatives in India said that he had very little contact with his family over the past 27 years. He only visited India six times after moving to Australia, and those visits were for family reasons related to property and his elderly parents.

The family was unaware of any radical views held by Sajid or Naveed. They told their family they were going fishing
According to reports, before carrying out the attack, the father and son told their family they were going fishing. Sajid lived in a rented house and ran a fruit shop there.

A few hours before the attack, Naveed also spoke to his mother. According to The Sydney Morning Herald, he told his mother, Verena, that he had gone swimming and was now going to eat. Verena told the police that she spoke to her son on Sunday.
Verena said, “He called me on Sunday and said, ‘Mom, I just came back from swimming. I went scuba diving. Now we are going to eat.’ Then he said it was very hot, so we would stay home.” Just a few hours later, the father and son opened fire at Bondi Beach.
