What's the story

English newspaper 'Rising Kashmir' published its daily edition today even after losing its Editor-in-Chief Shujaat Bukhari yesterday in an assassination, which also left two of his personal security officers (PSOs) dead.

They were shot dead by unidentified gunmen outside Rising Kashmir office in Press Enclave in Srinagar shortly before Iftar.

Bukhari is survived by his wife, a son and a daughter.

Tribute

Paper's front page carries Bukhari's photo with a message

Rising Kashmir's front page has carried a full-page photograph of its late Editor-in-Chief in black background.

The page also carried a message saying, "You left all too sudden but you will always be our leading light... We won't be cowed down by cowards who snatched you from us. We will uphold your principle of telling the truth howsoever unpleasant it may be...Rest in peace!"

Bukhari's killing has evoked widespread condemnations from across the country.

Jammu and Kashmir Governor NN Vohra described his murder as a big loss to the media fraternity.

Brutal killing

Bukhari was the fourth journalist killed by terrorists

Bukhari was the fourth journalist to be killed by terrorists in the nearly three-decade-long violence in Kashmir.

In 1991, the editor of 'Alsafa', Mohammed Shaban Vakil, was killed by Hizbul Mujahideen operatives.

ANI cameraman Mushtaq Ali lost his life when a bomb exploded in his office in 1995.

On January 31, 2003, Parvaz Mohammed Sultan, editor of NAFA, was shot dead by Hizbul Mujahideen.
