Australian authorities have arrested five additional suspects near Sydney’s Bondi Beach, including four Indian nationals, officials said. The arrests took place on Thursday as part of the ongoing investigation into the recent terror attack in the area.
According to India’s Ministry of External Affairs, the development emerged during the continuing probe into the Bondi Beach incident. Officials said the new arrests have broadened the scope of the investigation, with agencies examining multiple aspects of the attack to trace all involved individuals and potential links.
Government sources indicated that the recent detentions signal rising security concerns. Authorities believe the network behind the attack may be larger and more coordinated than initially estimated. The arrests reinforce the view that the attack was not the work of a single individual or a small group but potentially part of an organised network.
Australian agencies continue their investigation, coordinating closely to assess the security situation. India’s Ministry of External Affairs confirmed the development, noting that it is monitoring the matter and remains in contact with relevant authorities.
