Yesterday(November

with

controversy
in
full
swing,
the

visited

house
and
banged
on
the
door
a
few
times.
However,
as

they
left
without
making
any
further
enquires.
While
some
reports
claimed
that
the
cops
had
reached
the
house
to
arrest
the
director,
other
reports
suggested
that
they
had
gone
there
to

political' film
