Had seen already a few articles on public displays of affection in India recently: 
A
court in India recently dismissed criminal proceedings against a couple
who were arrested for kissing. The BBC's Soutik Biswas examines India's
tangled relationship with the kiss.
Public displays of affection and sex are still largely taboo in India
A court in India has dismissed
criminal proceedings against a married couple charged with obscenity
for allegedly kissing in public in the capital.
Now (via the MeanRed Productions e-mail), is this letter from the Black Lips:
A LETTER FROM INDIA
Dear fans,
Unfortunately, we have had to flee the country of India due to
having our whole tour canceled and having to escape being held by
police for indecent exposure during our most raucous set in Chennai at
the Campus Rock Idol showcase.
After the fiasco, which the kids seemed to like, the financial
backers of the event were furious and threw us off the tour. They tried
to get security to restrain us until the Tamil police arrived. We
locked the door while they were kicking and banging on it. Meanwhile,
we slipped out the other emergency exit.
And that's only the start...
