PETALING JAYA:
An NGO is demanding that the inspector-general of police (IGP) apologise to Indira Gandhi over several broken promises to help reunite her with her daughter who was kidnapped by her husband before he converted to Islam in 2009.

The man and his daughter, now 13, have been at large since.

The Indira Gandhi Action Team (INGAT) called for IGP Abdul Hamid Bador to make good on his promises before he retires from the force in May.

They said these include a claim by Hamid that he was willing to meet up with Indira and the promise of a “happy ending” in the case.

INGAT chairman Arun Dorasamy says they have been waiting for almost two years to meet up with Hamid.

“For all the broken promises don’t you think it is only proper for you to apologise for getting Indira’s hopes up. She is truly hurt and devastated.”

Indira’s daughter, Prasana Diksa, was taken away by her former husband, Muhammad Riduan Abdullah, before he converted to Islam in 2009. Prasana was just 11 months old at the time.

The courts had ordered Riduan to return Prasana to Indira but he has not been seen since. They are believed to be abroad.

Last year, Hamid said police were negotiating through an intermediary to bring Riduan and Prasana back to the country.

Indira has since sued Hamid and the government, seeking compensation for their failure to execute a court order to recover Prasana.
