You should report it to the police. They are well organized ppl I must say. I have seen the same shaddy activities in UAE, Bahrain & Oman !!
I too have helped and found out later that it was a money making business. They are fantastic actors....pity they are wasting their talents in such in appropriate manner.
Take also a picture of this culprit if possible, just incase you might need it as a backup proof !!
