Police Seek Public Help To Locate Indira Gandhi's Daughter, Ex-husband
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 11 (Bernama) -- Anyone with information that can assist in locating the youngest daughter of Indira Gandhi has been asked to channel it to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).
Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail said every information received will be reviewed professionally, and action will be taken according to existing investigative procedures.
Mohd Khalid said a meeting was held between PDRM and Indira Gandhi at Bukit Aman at 4.40 pm yesterday, and it was also attended by the Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform), M. Kulasegaran, activist Arun Dorasamy and two of Indira Gandhi's other children.
"During the meeting, M. Kulasegaran requested the police to provide continued support to Indira Gandhi in efforts to locate her ex-husband, K. Pathmanathan or Muhammad Riduan Abdullah, and her daughter.
"Indira Gandhi and Arun Dorasamy also expressed hope that the search efforts could be intensified,” he said in a statement today.
He said the police remain committed and will always respect and comply with all court directives, including in conducting continuous efforts to locate Indira Gandhi's daughter in accordance with the law.
He added that police will continue to fully cooperate to ensure that every action taken is carried out with integrity, professionalism and in line with legal requirements.
On Nov 21, the Ipoh High Court ordered the PDRM to widen the search for Indira Gandhi's ex-husband, who has been accused of failing to return their youngest daughter to her.
In 2009, Muhammad Riduan converted the couple’s three children to Islam without Indira Gandhi’s consent and sought custody through the Syariah Court.
On Jan 29, 2018, the Federal Court ruled that the conversions were null and void.
The court also ordered the Inspector-General of Police to arrest Muhammad Riduan for defying the High Court’s directive to return the youngest daughter to her mother.
