Fourth suspect in Shujaat Bukhari’s murder case arrested: Police

Srinagar: Police on Friday claimed that it arrested the fourth suspect in senior journalist Shujaat Bukhari’s murder.

Police earlier in the day released the video of a bearded man who was apparently trying to help the injured in Bukhari’s car after attackers fired a volley of automatic gunfire at him.

The man was reportedly picking up a pistol from the site after which he escaped. Police sources said this fourth suspect was most likely part of the team of assassins.

“He has been arrested and his interrogation is going on,” a source said.

Meanwhile, state police chief S.P. Vaid told reporters here that “rest assured, we will get the killers”.

CCTV footage had shown three masked assassins escaping with the murder weapon on a motorcycle. (IANS)
