Bukit Aman CID acting director Huzir Mohamed is leading a newly-formed special task force to locate Indira Gandhi's former husband Muhammad Riduan Abdullah and their daughter Prasana Diksa.
This was revealed by the Inspector-General of Police Mohamad Fuzi Harun at a media conference held at the Police Training Centre in Kuala Lumpur today.
He also confirmed that police had met with the volunteer-based Indira Gandhi Action Team (Ingat) last week. Ingat seeks to assist the authorities in reuniting Prasana with her mother following a court order.
"There was a meeting among police officers including those from the CID.
'We had exchanged views and information on the matter with the NGO (Ingat). The task force led by the CID acting director will continue their effort to track (Riduan and Prasana)," he said.
On Friday, Ingat head Arun Dorasamay said Fuzi had relayed to them during a meeting at Bukit Aman that there would be a special task force set up to locate the duo.
Indira was also present at the meeting.
Riduan (above) had left with then 11-month-old Prasana in 2009.
A lengthy legal battle between Riduan and Indira ensued involving both the syariah and civil courts. The High Court issued a warrant of arrest for Riduan in 2014.
The police have yet to locate him and Prasana.
Fuzi said to date, police have no indication on Riduan's whereabouts.
"We obtained information that he was in Thailand. Some said he was in Johor and Kelantan. We visited those places but there were no indicators that he was there."
Meanwhile, Fuzi said he has instructed police to beef up security including at the Sri Lanka High Commission following the recent bombing atrocities in the island country.
"We cannot downplay this incident and must be wary in case of retaliation by certain parties in our country.
"However, our preliminary investigations show no sign that Malaysians were involved in the bombing," he said.
Sunday's bombings at churches and high-end hotels in Colombo perpetrated by suicide bombers killed 290 people and wounded more than 500 others.
