The Indira Gandhi Action Team (Ingat) is seeking the help of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation to locate P Prasana Diksa, the youngest daughter of M Indira Gandhi.

Ingat chairperson Arun Dorasamy said they will meet with US embassy officials in Kuala Lumpur on March 19 to hand over documents regarding the case of the missing 11-year-old.

"We hope that after the meeting, the US will handle the case, which we consider as human trafficking," he told Malaysiakini.

Ingat was established to look for Prasana, who was abducted by Indira's ex-husband Muhammad Riduan Abdullah in 2009, when the child was just 11 months old.

This followed a lengthy court battle which ended in Indira being granted custody.

Arun also said they have lost faith in the way police here have handled the case so far.

"Although we have given them many new leads, until today, they have not contacted us. Therefore, we are forced to take this case up with the FBI," he said.

Arun added that Ingat has also alerted the Thai police after receiving information that Riduan might be hiding in the country.

"Our intention is not to belittle the Malaysian police, but we just want to return Prasana safely to her mother."

Ingat had previously offered an RM10,000 reward for anyone providing information leading to Riduan's arrest.

Prasana's two elder siblings live with Indira, but her and her father's whereabouts remain unknown.
