Actually, no, I was never trying to set up any kind of gotcha. I made the passing comment about a seeming incongruity which was little more than that. After some further discussion, I did accept the reason for it. If 'moral standards' was also the wrong term then so be it - my impression was that breaking the law, and stepping over a moral(/ethical/whatever) line in your view. I agree we are not Indian law specialists, but do thing its safe to speculate this case of vigilantism is illegal. But really, I guess that is not 100% certain. I suspect this discussion is just going round in circles getting nowhere, and not headed anywhere interesting, so suggest we move on.
