POLICE for the first time admitted they have information on the whereabouts of Muhammad Riduan Abdullah, the ex-husband of Indira Gandhi, and have urged him to come forward.
Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador who recently came under fire for saying that the case will have a ”happy ending”, said both the father and mother have the right to access to their daughter, Prasana Diksa.
“The public do not know where he (Riduan) is but I know. I urge him to come forward so that this matter can be solved amicably,” he said today.
“To the father, do not hide anymore. Both Indira and the father have rights to their daughter.
“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 told reporters at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
The top cop added there has been tremendous progress in the investigation which he believed would soon see a conclusion.
“Be patient for just a little bit more. There have been progress (in the case),” he said.
On the civil suit Indira has filed against him, Hamid said the decision to take legal action was up to her.
“If she wants to sue me or the government, that is her choice. I have got nothing to say,” he replied.
Yesterday, Indira Gandhi Action Team chairman Arun Dorasamy in a statement slammed Hamid for playing “broker” by promising a win-win situation for both the mother and the fugitive father.
Last week, Indira said she was suing the IGP for RM100 million for failing to locate her daughter, snatched by her former husband more than 11 years ago.
Indira also wants to compel Hamid to act on the 2014 Ipoh High Court order to enforce the arrest warrant for Riduan and recovery order to retrieve Prasana.
According to Indira’s lawyer, Rajesh Nagarajan, despite a Federal Court order compelling the IGP and police to arrest his client’s ex-husband and return her daughter, the police have neglected to do both.
“Hamid said that a ‘win-win solution’ is needed to protect the child’s ‘welfare’. He continued, saying that the police have been working to solve the case for a ‘happy ending’.
“There is absolutely no necessity for a ‘win-win scenario’ when there is an order from the Federal Court to the IGP and Polis Diraja Malaysia to arrest Pathmanathan a/l Krishnan (as Indira’s ex-husband was known until his conversion to Islam) and return Prasana to Indira,” he said in a statement a week ago.
Prasana was only 11 months old when Indira’s ex-husband kidnapped her.
Indira has fought for 11 years to have her daughter returned to her. – January 31, 2020.

From when onwards has the PDRM usurped the role of the judiciary?
Why has the PDRM gone all out to ensure an Unhappy ending for 12 innocent men arrested on false premises under SOSMA? No happy ending for them? Is it because they are not Muslim?
