For India there was no question of accepting the conditions imposed by the documentary filmmaker in California, holder objects to sell him. But before the controversy and the pressures, he finally decided to remove the relics, a few hours of the sale. The Indian government then thought to have been successful, but another blow to the theater, Antiquorum Auctioneers, rejects the decision of James Otis as several buyers have already registered for the sale.
