IPOH:
Police are still looking for Muhammad Riduan Abdullah, 53, in relation to the warrant of committal issued against him by the Ipoh High Court on May 30, 2014.

District police chief Yahaya Hassan said Riduan’s last known address was at Persiaran Pegoh Dua, Off Jalan Pasir Puteh.

“We hope members of the public who have any information about him will contact us,” he said in a statement today.

In 2009, Riduan unilaterally converted his three children to Islam without his ex-wife M Indira Gandhi’s consent before going to the shariah court to obtain custody of the children. However, in 2018, the Federal Court ruled that the unilateral conversion of the three children was null and void.

The Ipoh High Court in 2010 granted full custody of the children to Indira.

In 2016, the Federal Court affirmed the mandamus order issued by the High Court directing the police and the appellants to apprehend Riduan and return their youngest child, Prasana Diksa, to Indira.

Prasana was taken away by Riduan when she was 11 months old, shortly after he converted to Islam.
