If you look at the ownerships and permissions of the above file, you see that A
has no write permission. But since the file was in a directory writable by A, A
has the right to delete the file.

If you want A to have write permission to the file, the file needs to have
proper permissions (group writable, see: `umask 002`) and A has to be in group
B.

HTH.
