The Indira Gandhi Action Team (Ingat) is offering a RM10,000 reward to anyone who is able to give information on the whereabouts of Indira's former husband, Muhammad Riduan Abdullah, who left the home with their then 11-month-old daughter Prasana Diksa in 2009.

"We are offering RM10,000 to anyone who is able to give information leading to Riduan's arrest," Ingat chairperson Arun Dorasamy said at a press conference in Petaling Jaya today.

The RM10,000 bounty comes almost 10 years after Riduan took away Prasana and unilaterally converted his three children to Islam in 2009.

While Prasana's two elder siblings are with Indira, both Riduan and Prasana's whereabouts remain unknown.

The Federal Court unanimously declared the unilateral conversion unlawful in January last year.

Indira expressed hopes that her ordeal will come to an end soon.

"There are rumours that she (Diksa) has been abused. Without her mother by her side, just imagine her trauma. All the legal remedy is already there (sic). What else can I do?

"As the days go by, she is going to turn 12. And with plenty of rape and abuse cases, I really hope that all this ordeal will come to an end," she said.

Ingat is also expected to file contempt of court and mandamus order next week to compel the inspector-general of police to arrest Riduan.

"I have already told some of our police friends that we would appreciate if the police could set up a task force to track Riduan.

"We gave them some time but to no avail. So, we have no choice but to file contempt of court against the IGP for not executing the order."

A lengthy legal battle between Riduan and Indira had ensued involving both the syariah and civil courts. The High Court issued an arrest warrant for Riduan in 2014.

The police have yet to locate him.

Arun said there are also rumours that Riduan lives in southern Thailand, but they have no way to verify them.

"Only the police can tell us. If they do not step up (the search), it will be a huge injustice against the girl," he said.
