The suspect, named as Zubair Qadri, was seen in a video stealing the pistol of one of the guards rubbed out with Bukhari, Inspector General of Kashmire S.P. Pani told news hounds.

"The pistol has since been recovered and he is being questioned about his presence at the scene of the crime. So far, he has not been able to give any convincing answers," Pani said.

Militant groups Lashkar-e-Taiba
...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI...
and United Jehad Council also condemned the killing and denied involvement. Instead, they blamed "Indian agencies".

Bukhari had been a strong advocate of peace in disputed Kashmire, at the heart of decades of hostility between India and Pakistain, both of which claim the Moslem majority region.
