FTII student to be allowed to return to Pune
Pune Mirror: Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) student and Nepali national, Neetu Singh, who was deported by Pune police on December 5, may return by the end of this month to complete her course.
Pune police deported Singh to Nepal in early December on the grounds that intelligence agencies had noticed her involvement in activities that were not in India’s interest.
However, central agencies subsequently refused to back this claim.
The Ministry for Home Affairs (MHA) consented to Singh’s return after the institute wrote to the government requesting that the 30-year-old be allowed to complete her course.
Singh is in the final year of her five-year editing course at FTII and needs to complete only one more month of the curriculum.
MHA and Mantralaya sources said that they are in touch with Singh and have proposed that she be allowed to return to Pune on certain conditions.
A source elaborated, “She will have to return to Nepal as soon as her course gets over; she will have to abstain from interacting with media during her stay in Pune and she will have to sign a bond of good behaviour.”
State chief of the All India Democratic Women’s Association (AIDWA), Kiran Moghe, said, “We want the government to solve the issue as quickly as possible.”
The AIDWA had taken up her cause saying Singh’s husband Amresh had used his connections in Delhi to have her deported.
