M Indira Gandhi's daughter was 11 months old when her ex-husband, who converted to Islam, took the child. The teacher has not seen her for eight years.

Eight months have also passed since she turned to the courts to compel inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar to look for her daughter as she and her ex-husband K Pathmanathan, who now uses the name Mohd Ridhwan Abdullah, are embroiled in a custody battle over their three children.
