Police arrest fourth suspect in journalist Bukhari’s murder within hours of releasing his picture

JAMMU LINKS NEWS | Within hours of releasing his picture seeking public help for his arrest, police in Srinagar picked up the fourth suspect in senior journalist Shujaat Bukhari’s murder case. Earlier on Friday, police released the video of a bearded man who was apparently trying to help the injured in Bukhari’s car after militants fired a volley of automatic gunfire at the occupants. This man was reportedly picking up a pistol from the murder 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. Late Thursday night, police had issued two photographs of three-motorcycle borne suspects that were taken from the CCTV footage. However, their faces were not visible.
