BARAMULLA: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday visited Kreeri in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district and offered her condolences to the bereaved family of slain journalist Shujaat Bukhari.
Bukhari was killed on Thursday evening after unidentified gunmen, believed to be four in number, fired into his vehicle that he had just boarded with his two PSOs.
One of the suspects was arrested by the police yesterday, hours after his photo was released on social media.
Thousands of mourners joined the funeral procession of Bukhari at his ancestral village Kreeri in Baramulla yesterday. Braving heavy rain, villagers, friends and colleagues followed the procession through the streets of the village.
