M Indira Gandhi is keeping up the pressure on police to find her estranged daughter Prasana Diksa, reportedly writing a third letter seeking a meeting with Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador.
According to news portal The Malaysian Insight, Indira's latest letter to Hamid was sent last Monday, seeking an update on the status of police's search for her daughter whom she has not seen for more than a decade.
"We are hopeful that he will agree to meet us. We look forward to seeing him after the recovery movement control order (MCO) period," she was quoted as saying.
Indira also reportedly urged Hamid to fulfil his promise of a "happy ending" to reunite her with her daughter.
In January, Hamid revealed that he knew the whereabouts of Indira's ex-husband, Muhammad Riduan Abdullah, and at the same time urged the latter to come out of hiding.
"I take this case seriously and I want a happy ending, especially for the little girl.
"I do understand the frustration the mother has gone through. I know she misses her daughter," Hamid (photo) had said at the time.
Indira’s plight began when Riduan unilaterally converted all their three children to Islam in 2009.
A lengthy court battle ensued involving both the syariah and civil courts.
The Federal Court ultimately instructed then-IGP Khalid Abu Bakar in 2016 to arrest Riduan, and reinstated a mandamus order issued by the Ipoh High Court two years earlier for Prasana’s retrieval.
A mandamus order is a court order compelling a government official to properly fulfil their official duties.
In January 2018, the apex court also nullified the conversion of Prasana and her two elder siblings to Islam by Riduan, who was known as K Pathmanathan prior to his conversion.
Indira’s two eldest children now live with her, while Riduan remains in hiding with Prasana.
