Indira’s lawyers said there was no need for a “win-win solution” when there was already an order from the Federal Court requiring the IGP and police to arrest her husband Ridhuan Abdullah and return their daughter, Prasana Diksa, to her.

“The IGP’s comment that he is seeking a ‘win-win’ situation is mind-boggling to say the least,” said Rajesh Nagarajan and Sachpreetraj Singh Sohanpal in a statement today.

“The IGP need not seek anything. The IGP need not make any party happy. Yours is not to make reply, yours is not to reason why, yours is but to do and obey the judgment of the Federal Court.”

Indira, a Hindu woman, was awarded custody of Prasana but the girl was taken away by her ex-husband.

He had converted to Islam in 2009 before converting their three children without her consent – a move the Federal Court declared unlawful in 2018.

The Federal Court last year issued an order for the police to arrest Ridhuan and return Prasana who was taken away when she was 11 months old in 2009.

Police have yet to track down Ridhuan and Prasana. On Tuesday, a support group for Indira threatened a RM100 million suit against Hamid if the police failed to explain why Prasana could not be located and reunited with her mother.

When asked to comment during a press conference, Hamid said that a “win-win solution” was needed to protect the child’s welfare and that the police had been working towards a “happy ending”.

Indira’s lawyers wanted to know if Hamid knew where Ridhuan and Prasana were and what he meant by a “win-win solution”.

On Tuesday, the Indira Gandhi Action Team (Ingat) said they feared for Prasana’s safety in the absence of government records about her, such as immunisation or school enrolment records.

Calling for the case to be reclassified as a missing child case, Ingat spokesman Arun Dorasamy said they would file two legal suits next month seeking RM100 million for emotional distress and other damages due to the police’s inability to find Prasana.
