"NRI" is a new expression to me--it's what the Indian Press uses to describe Indians who live overseas. They don't, by the way, usually distinguish between those who are still citizens of India, and thous who may have sworn oaths of citizenship to other countries, they still think of them as Indians. This is a horrifying murder in London, and to the Indian press it was committed by an NRI.
