On 14 June, Police released CCTV footage of suspects believed to be responsible for the killing – one with his face covered in a helmet, and the other two shrouded with masks on a motorcycle – and sought help of the public to identify them.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/seen-on-cctv-3-men-suspected-of-killing-journalist-shujaat-bukhari-1867746|title=Seen On CCTV, 3 Men Suspected Of Killing Journalist Shujaat Bukhari|work=NDTV.com|access-date=2018-06-14|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180614221620/https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/seen-on-cctv-3-men-suspected-of-killing-journalist-shujaat-bukhari-1867746|archivedate=2018-06-14}}</ref>

==Reactions==
[[Minister of Home Affairs (India)|Minister of Home Affairs]] [[Rajnath Singh]] termed the killing "an act of cowardice".<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/bukharis-killing-an-act-of-cowardice-rajnath-singh/articleshow/64592101.cms|title=Bukhari's killing an act of cowardice: Rajnath Singh – Times of India|work=The Times of India|access-date=2018-06-14|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180615051541/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/bukharis-killing-an-act-of-cowardice-rajnath-singh/articleshow/64592101.cms|archivedate=2018-06-15}}</ref>

Pakistani militant group [[Lashkar-e-Taiba]] was quoted as having "strongly condemned" the killing and blaming it on the "enmity" of "Indian agencies" towards every individual who is "loyal to the freedom movement".<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://kashmirlife.net/let-condemns-shujaat-bukharis-murder-blames-indian-agencies-177532/|title=LeT condemns Shujaat Bukhari's murder, blames 'Indian agencies'|date=2018-06-15|work=Kashmir Life|access-date=2018-06-14|language=en-GB|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180615051537/https://kashmirlife.net/let-condemns-shujaat-bukharis-murder-blames-indian-agencies-177532/|archivedate=2018-06-15}}</ref>

[[Reporters Without Borders]] was quoted saying that Shujaat Bukhari escaped a murder attempt by armed men in June 2006, at which time Bukhari had told Reporters Without Borders, "It is virtually impossible to know who are our enemies and who are our friends."<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://globalvoices.org/2018/06/15/kashmiri-journalist-shujaat-bukhari-shot-dead/|title=Kashmiri journalist Shujaat Bukhari shot dead · Global Voices|date=2018-06-15|work=Global Voices|access-date=2018-06-17|language=en}}</ref>

On 19 June 2018, after a two-day holiday on the eve of the Eid festival, major newspapers in Jammu and Kashmir "for the first time in decades" protested the killing of the journalist by leaving their editorial sections blank.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/shujaat-bukhari-murder-kashmir-newspapers-carry-blank-editorial-to-protest-killing-5223724/|title=Shujaat Bukhari murder: Kashmir newspapers carry blank editorial to protest killing|date=2018-06-19|work=The Indian Express|access-date=2018-06-20|language=en-US}}</ref> Newspapers which joined this protest were ''Greater Kashmir'', ''Kashmir Reader'', ''Kashmir Observer'', ''Rising Kashmir'' which had been edited by Bukhari till his killing, and Urdu newspapers including the ''Tamleel Irshad''.

News-agency Press Trust of India reported that separatist leaders had called for a complete shutdown in Kashmir on 21 June 2018 to protest against the killing of Bukhari and civilians gunned down by security forces over recent days.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/separatists-call-for-kashmir-shutdown-against-shujaat-bukhari-civilian-killings/articleshow/64653951.cms|title=Separatists call for Kashmir shutdown against Shujaat Bukhari, civilian killings - Times of India|work=The Times of India|access-date=2018-06-20}}</ref>

The [[Bharatiya Janata Party]], India's ruling party at the federal level, which was sharing power with the local [[Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party|PDP]] in Jammu & Kashmir, withdrew support to the latter and cited the killing of Bukhari as one of the reasons. Incidentally, editor Bukhari's brother Syed Basharat Bukhari was the horticulture minister in the PDP-BJP former government headed by [[Mehbooba Mufti]], which collapsed on 19 June 2018.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/bjp-pulls-out-of-alliance-with-pdp-in-jammu-and-kashmir/articleshow/64646733.cms|title=Mehbooba Mufti resigns after BJP pulls out of alliance with PDP in Jammu and Kashmir - Times of India ►|work=The Times of India|access-date=2018-06-20}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thewire.in/media/shujaat-bukhari-rising-kashmir-shot|title=Shujaat Bukhari, Editor of 'Rising Kashmir', Shot Dead in Srinagar|website=The Wire|access-date=2018-06-20}}</ref>
