Was misled by son-in-law: Father

Ram Suresh Singhs revelation came in a letter he sent to CPMs Rajya Sabha MP Brinda Karat,indicating that Nitus family was aware of her deportation and it was the result of a family dispute and not because of her involvement in anti-national activities as has been claimed by the Pune police.

Karat,meanwhile,wrote a letter to Union Home Minister P Chidambaram seeking his intervention in the matter. She pointed out that Neetu was a victim of domestic violence at the hands of her husband and she should not be prevented from returning to Pune to complete her studies.

Arguing that Neetus father had written several letters to the Pune police asking for their help in deporting her,Karat said how a case of domestic dispute becomes a case concerning national security is a question that requires investigation8230; so as to prevent such misuse in the future.

It is unthinkable that in democratic India an adult woman should be deported simply because her husband and parents wish her to obey them and further that this should be projected by our law enforcement agencies as being a matter of national security, she said.
