If this picture belongs to this encounter, can police clarify that if these criminals were handcuffed after being killed or were already handcuffed even before so called "encounter"?

When criminals are roaming about everywhere there can be no tranquility and peace. Excellent job done by our brave Mlair police. Clean your country from these unwanted bad elements for your children and for future generations. Pakistan will remember you. Thanks police.
