The ability of removing a file has nothing to do with permissions set
on the file, but with permissions set on the directory where the file
resides:
When you remove a file, you actually write to its parent directory.

On UNIX, you can e.g. remove files beloging to other users if they reside
in /tmp

Check if this is the case in your case (?)
