NEW DELHI, Jan 13: In the wake of a raging controversy over the action against Neetu Singh, a Nepal student, the Maharashtra government has suspended the deportation order against her, paving the way for her return to Pune.



Neetu, a student of Film and Television Institute of India, Pune, has been allowed to return to India under a set of conditions that will help her complete her studies, highly placed sources said here. [break]



The conditions includes a complete ban on talking to media, stay within the campus and bar on approaching any local court.



She can go out only with permission from authorities and asked not to engage in anti-national activities, the sources said adding the FTII Director will be held responsible personally for violation of any of these conditions.



Neetu was deported by Pune police on December 5.



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, Pune Mirror reported.



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.



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 behavior.”



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.
