Hyderabadi Man Granted Australian Residency for Heroism in Sydney Bondi Beach Shooting
Rehmat Pasha, a Hyderabad cab driver, was granted Australian permanent residency for his bravery during the December 14, 2025, Bondi Beach shooting in Sydney, which killed at least 15 people. Pasha helped save 18 to 20 lives by assisting injured victims and transporting them to ambulances amid gunfire.
