A day after the assassination of Kashmiri journalist Shujaat Bukhari, J&K Police on Friday arrested one suspect in connection with the killing, according to IG Kashmir. The suspect, whose photograph was released earlier today by the police, was identified as Zubair Qayoom. In the picture he can be seen retrieving the weapon from Bukhari's PSO from the sire of the accident. Addressing the media, IG J&K Police confirmed that Bukhari was assassinated in a terror-related incident and an SIT has been constituted under Deputy Inspector General (central Kashmir) V K Virdi to investigate the matter. Earlier today, J&K Police had released a screen grab showing a suspect in connection with the killing and had sought the help of the 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 last night, police had issued two photographs of three-motorcycle borne suspects that were taken from the CCTV footage. However, their faces were not visible. While the driver was wearing a helmet, one-of-the pillion riders had used a face mask to conceal his identity. The face of the third assailant, sitting in the middle, did not seem to be covered but he was leaning towards the other side so as not to be captured on the CCTV. Bukhari, 50, was gunned down yesterday evening soon after he got into his car from his office at Press Enclave in the city centre, Lal Chowk. His two personal security officers were also killed. The flood situation in Assam deteriorated drastically on Friday with nearly four lakh people affected across seven districts of the state. According to the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA), 3.87 lakh people have been affected in Hojai, Karbi Anglong East, Karbi Anglong West, Golaghat, Karimganj, Hailakandi and Cachar districts in the first wave of floods to have hit the state this year. Till Thursday, the number of flood-hit people stood at 1.67 lakh in seven districts. So far, three persons have lost their lives in landslides and flood-related incidents in different parts of the state. According to the report issued today, Hailakandi has been the worst-hit with nearly 2.06 lakh people affected, followed by Karimganj with almost 1.33 lakh people. Currently, 668 villages are under water and 1,912 hectares of crop area has been damaged, the ASDMA said. Landslides have occurred at four locations in Guwahati city, but no casualty has been reported so far. Due to fresh landslips between the Bandarkhal and Damchara stations, rail movement continues to remain suspended on the Lumding-Badarpur section. "Work is in progress at the affected locations and as per preliminary estimates, complete restoration is likely to take 2-3 days time. Landslips have also occurred at several places in the Dharmanagar area," Northeast Frontier Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Pranav Jyoti Sharma said.
