Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Police on Friday released a screen grab showing a suspect in connection with the killing of journalist Shujaat Bukhari and his two personal guards on Thursday and have sought the help of general public in identifying him.
The police issued the picture from a video, which was purportedly recorded by a passerby following the attack on Bukhari outside his office, showing a bearded man surveying the inside of the journalist’s vehicle.
As a man pulls out Bukhari’s guard, the suspect is seen picking up his pistol and disappearing from the scene right under the nose of the cops there.
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.
