The question whether the Chapter will help someone if they get into some
sort of trouble with the authorities is an important one and should be
addressed. Once a letter of authority is issued to a volunteer, the
chapter's reputation and credibility is on the line. Therefore, the
chapter must endeavor to only approve those members who have a substantial
amount of history with our projects and their mission.
In such a scenario, I would expect the chapter to extend help to those it
endorses.

Will the chapter or India Programs provide
assistance?
IIRC both of them lie outside the "content" boundary and wouldn't be
helping. I dont recollect reading anything like "protecting interests of
wikipedians" on the chapter's mission / vision. Form a political party
(since asking the current ones might not help!) and fight for it, else sit
at home and edit non controversial stuff like "Brinjal" :P
Supporting Wikimedia volunteers in their mission to expand the scope and
variety of content on Wikimedia projects is an important part of our stated
goals. I think this is a very good idea, and a little help to the
volunteers from the chapter would go a long way in giving their work some
credibility in the eyes of authorities, private and public both.
