Without spoilers, on a side quest in the first area you can explore (after prologue mission), you can report an NPC to the police, which results in a gun-fight between the NPCs and the Police.
Does indirect killing like this affect non-lethal runs? Specifically actions you take that cause people to get killed by someone else.

No. Taking actions which result in NPCs dying at the hands of other NPCs does not sacrifice the Pacifist trophy in Mankind Divided. For example, I just received the trophy after a playthrough in which
I set the "good" Prague cops on Drahomir and his cronies, resulting in 4 deaths
I failed to save Miller's life
I accidentally triggered Eliza Cassan's "intervention" in the Red Light District while one of the cops was standing too close to the turret, causing him to die when it exploded
I opened a locked gate in the sewers below southern Prague, causing several civilians to be killed by drones
I failed to save Koller's life
On the flip side,
- I made sure everyone I knocked unconscious was still marked
Zzz(rather than dead) after I finished dragging their bodies away. (A couple times the dragging process killed the person, so I had to reload.) - I reloaded when a robot that I destroyed blew up too close to a civilian, killing him.
