KUALA LUMPUR: Indira Gandhi says she is disappointed after meeting Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail.
"I came here hoping to get some information on what the police have done.
"Every IGP we see we have to tell the whole story again. They are not saying anything and we are hoping year after year.
"This is really demotivating," she said.
She added that her daughter Prasana Diksa would turn 18 in about six months' time.
"Will I see her before she turns 18?" she questioned.
Lawyer and activist Arun Dorasamy said Indira met the IGP at his Bukit Aman office at 4.30pm on Wednesday (Dec 10) but it turned out to be an informal discussion.
He said several leads were brought up such as the use of Indira's ex-husband Muhammad Riduan Abdullah's MyKad to purchase subsidised petrol.
"The IGP said they would prioritise reuniting both of them (Indira and her daughter Prasana). He repeated this four or five times but saying it is one thing," he said.
On the use of Muhammad Riduan's MyKad, Arun said it was traced to eight petrol stations but no CCTV footage could be obtained from seven of them.
"The footage from one station showed a face but it was not clear," he said, adding that there appeared to be "no seriousness" in locating Prasana.
He said that if they could not have a "trusting relationship" with the police then they would organise another march.
"This time we will march to the Prime Minister's office during a Cabinet meeting," he said.
Indira, when met by reporters, also expressed her disappointment.
In 2009 Indira's ex-husband, then known as K. Pathmanathan, embraced Islam, changed his name and converted their three children without her consent before fleeing with the youngest, Prasana.
Despite a series of court orders directing police to reunite mother and child, enforcement has remained elusive – making it one of Malaysia's most protracted custody battles.
