Cops Are Still Looking For Indira S Daughter Says Deputy Home Minister

---

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.
Deputy Home Minister Shamsul Anuar NasarahShamsul 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.

On another matter, Shamsul said the police received 489 reports involving 637 Malaysians who fell victim to human trafficking, particularly job scam syndicates targeting young people, from January until yesterday.
Shamsul said out of this, 504 individuals had been rescued, while 133 remained stranded abroad.
“The Home Ministry, through the police, the Immigration Department, the Foreign Ministry, and Health Ministry, has successfully rescued Malaysian victims involved in job scam syndicates in Myanmar.
“The rescue operation was conducted in phases via the Bukit Kayu Hitam entry point on Feb 24 involving 15 Malaysians, and on March 12, involving another 25 citizens,” he added.
Shamsul said all rescued victims underwent health screenings by the Health Ministry and the National Anti-Drug Agency before being handed over to their respective families. - Mkini
