'Robbers' booked for murder of medical student Nimra in Karachi
Was it also a ‘murder’?
[DAWN] Police on Sunday started the paperwork but haven't done much else against four suspected robbers for the murder of a 20-year-old medical student in Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
who was killed in crossfire between police and the 'robbers' on Friday night.

The first information report (FIR), a copy of which is available with DawnNewsTV was filed against the suspected robbers under sections pertaining to police encounter, murder, attempted murder and terrorism.

The FIR was registered at the Sir Syed cop shoppe on the complaint of policeman Adnan who serves at the Noorjahan cop shoppe.

According to the report, Constable Adnan was patrolling near Farooq Azam Masjid in K Sector of North Nazimabad with other coppers when he first encountered the suspects and cautioned them to stop. The suspects, however, responded by opening fire and attempted to flee.

Subsequently, the coppers chased the four suspects who were riding two motorcyles. One of the two bikes managed to escape due to traffic near the Sakhi Hassan round. The second bike turned to the Anda Mor area where another encounter took place.

According to the FIR, both the suspected robbers were maimed during the encounter. Later, one of the two succumbed to his wounds. Police also recovered two pistols from the possession of the two suspects.

The FIR stated that police later discovered a girl was fatally injured during the crossfire.

Although police claim that Nimra Baig, 20, was killed by firing by the 'robbers' on Friday night, a post-mortem examination carried out at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre revealed that the bullet that hit her was fired by a "high-speed velocity weapon", which apparently refers to sub-machine guns in the use of police. Pistols commonly used by robbers do not qualify as high-speed velocity weapons.

#1 So given the frequency of "robber" shootouts, I have to assume "robber" is a euphemism or term or art for something else - any ideas?
