'Police still committed to finding Indira Gandhi’s daughter," says IGP


PETALING JAYA: The police remain committed to tracing the still-missing daughter of Indira Gandhi, Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail has assured.

In a statement on Thursday (Dec 11), the IGP said he met with Indira and her family on Wednesday (Dec 10) at Bukit Aman.

"During the meeting, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) M. Kulasegaran urged the police to continue giving their support to Indira in the ongoing efforts to trace her daughter.

"The police emphasize that we remain committed and will continue to respect and comply with every court order, including in carrying out ongoing efforts to locate her child in accordance with the law.

"The police also welcome any information from the public to assist in the search process," he said.

The case began in 2009, when Indira’s ex-husband, formerly known as K. Pathmanathan, embraced Islam, adopted the name Muhammad Riduan Abdullah, and converted their three children without her consent before fleeing with the youngest, Prasana Diksa.

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.
