If it's his work that led to the killing, Bukhari may become the 48th journalist who has been killed because of his work in India since 1992, the year when the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) started keeping records of journalist deaths.Though Bukhari's death is not part of the official records at CPJ, according to reports, his pro-peace talks views and believe in finding a political solution to the Kashmir conflict could be responsible for her death. In the past, Bukhari had managed to escape three attempts at his life, the latest one being in 2016.Bukhari's murder is the second high-profile killing in the last two years, the last one being Gauri Lankesh. In the latest edition of her weekly magazine in Kannada, Gauri Lankesh Patrike, before she died, Lankesh had criticised former Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa.Also, in several of her writings, she has accepted being under attack from Right-wing supporters for her anti-established views.Firstpost takes a look at the 48 journalists who were killed in India since 1992.
