Police had never stopped attempting to track down the daughter of kindergarten teacher M Indira Gandhi, said Deputy Home Minister Shamsul Anuar Nasarah.
Shamsul said efforts include enlisting Interpol’s help in locating the girl, who is believed to be in Thailand, after she was taken by Indira’s Muslim convert ex-husband K Pathmanathan - now known as Riduan Abdullah.
“Among the ongoing measures is the contempt of court proceedings at the Ipoh High Court, held every three months to update on the efforts to locate Riduan (above, left) and (her daughter) Prasana Diksa.
“The police are also receiving assistance from Interpol as the victim is believed to be in Thailand.
“We have never stopped efforts and are continuously working to track down the whereabouts of Indira’s former husband and child, who are suspected to be abroad,” Bernama reported him as saying today.

Shamsul said this when winding up the debate on the royal address in the Dewan Negara for the Home Ministry.
In June last year, the Kuala Lumpur High Court dismissed Indira’s lawsuit to compel the inspector-general of police to arrest Riduan and recover Prasana following their alleged failure to abide by a 2014 High Court order to do so.
Judicial commissioner Raja Ahmad Mohzanuddin Shah Raja Mohzan ruled that the police had been trying and are still trying to track down Riduan, who ran off with Prasana when she was 11 months old in 2009.
