No need to go all panicky. Just make a request to them that they are required to provide the source code. Or check here, and contact the folks to see if they can help in the process: http://gpl-violations.org/faq/violation-faq.html I think FSF-India can take this forward with the help of gpl-violations.org (if needed).
