Police have never stopped investigating Indira's missing daughter case, says IGP


KUALA LUMPUR: The police have never stopped investigating the case involving the missing daughter of Indira Gandhi, says Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail.

The Inspector-General of Police, when asked to comment on the committal action application filed against the police by Indira, said she had the legal right to do so.

"This case has been ongoing for a long time. I have met with her and her lawyers, and we will conduct investigations based on information provided," he said at a press conference on Thursday (March 19).

He added there had been no new developments but investigations would continue if there were new leads.

Indira had filed an application for committal action against the office of the Inspector-General of Police for contempt of court, accusing the police of failing to arrest her ex-husband Muhammad Riduan Abdullah (formerly known as K. Patmanathan) and locate her daughter Prasana Diksa.

Muhammad Riduan abducted Prasana when she was 11 months old in 2009 following a custody battle with his ex-wife Indira.

Indira was granted custody over Prasana and two other children in 2010. The couple divorced in August 2012.

The High Court on May 30, 2014, ordered the police to recover Prasana and return her to Indira. The mandamus order also compelled the police to arrest and commit Muhammad Riduan to prison.
