Vaid, three terrorists on a motorcycle attacked Bukhari around 7 pm as he was leaving his office and boarding his car. His two Jammu and Kashmir Police bodyguards were also killed in the attack, one dying on the spot and the other later at the hospital, and a civilian was injured. Investigation Police released CCTV footage of suspects believed to be responsible for the killing -- one with his face covered in a helmet, and the other two shrouded with masks on a motorcycle -- and sought help of the public to identify them. No one claimed responsibility for the killing. Peerzada Ashiq of The Hindu newspaper, for whom Bukhari earlier worked, blamed `` unknown gunmen '' for the killing, while ABP News blamed the killing on terrorists. On 15 June 2018 the Jammu & Kashmir Police arrested a suspect in the killing of Shujaat Bukhari and two of his security officers. The suspect identified as Zubair Qadri was seen in the video recorded by the local public at the crime scene, stealing the pistol of one the security officer who was shot and being taken to hospital. The missing pistol was also recovered from him. On 28 June 2018 the Jammu & Kashmir Police released the list of four suspects namely Sajad Gul ( based in Pakistan ), Azad Ahmed Malik, Muzafar Ahmad Bhat and Naveed Jatt. Soon after, they named Naveed Jutt, the top Pakistani terrorist who made a dramatic escape from a Srinagar hospital in February, as the killer. Reactions Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh termed the killing `` an act of cowardice ''. Pakistani militant group Lashkar - e-Taiba was quoted as having `` strongly condemned '' the killing and blaming it on the `` enmity '' of `` Indian agencies '' towards every individual who is `` loyal to the freedom movement ''. Reporters Without Borders was quoted saying that Shujaat Bukhari escaped a murder attempt by armed men in June 2006, at which time Bukhari had told Reporters Without Borders, `` It is virtually impossible to know who are our enemies and who are our friends. '' On June 19, 2018, after a two - day holiday on the eve of the Eid festival, major newspapers in Jammu and Kashmir `` for the first time in decades '' protested the killing of the journalist by leaving their editorial sections blank. Newspapers which joined this protest were Greater Kashmir, Kashmir Reader, Kashmir Observer, Rising Kashmir which had been edited by Bukhari till his killing, and Urdu newspapers including the Tamleel Irshad. News - agency Press Trust of India reported that separatist leaders had called for a complete shutdown in Kashmir on June 21, 2018 to protest against the killing of Bukhari and civilians gunned down by security forces over recent days. The Bharatiya Janata Party, India 's ruling party at the federal level, which was sharing power with the local PDP in Jammu & Kashmir, withdrew support to the latter and cited the killing of Bukhari as one of the reasons. Incidentally, editor Bukhari 's brother Syed Basharat Bukhari was the horticulture minister in the PDP - BJP former government headed by Mehbooba Mufti, which collapsed on June 19, 2018. News reports said that besides Bukhari, some 18 other journalists had `` been killed due to the conflict -- either directly targeted or caught in the cross-fire -- while several more have been injured.
