Srinagar, June 15: Within hours of releasing his picture for public help, police here on Friday arrested the fourth suspect in senior journalist Shujaat Bukhari's murder.

Police earlier in the day released the video of a bearded man who was apparently trying to help the injured in Bukhari's car after militants fired a volley of automatic gunfire at him.

This man was reportedly picking up a pistol from the murder site after which he escaped.

Police sources said this fourth suspect was most likely part of the team of assassins. 

"He has been arrested and his interrogation is going on," a source said.

Meanwhile, state police chief S.P. Vaid told reporters here that "rest assured, we will get the killers".

CCTV footage had shown three masked assassins escaping with the murder weapon on a motorcycle.

New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Monday sought responses from the Centre and others on a plea to accord weightage to states' proposal on the exact cost of cultivation while fixing minimum support price (MSP).

A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi issued notices to the Centre and others, including the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices, seeking their response on the plea.

Advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for the petitioners, said the plea raises a very important issue related to the farmers in the country.

The plea has sought direction to the authorities to ensure complete procurement of all notified crops under the MSP calculated on the basis of the exact cost of cultivation.

It has also sought direction to take appropriate steps to ensure complete procurement of crops from all farmers who are desirous of selling their crops at the MSP.
