"I held on to his leg as the car was moving but he kicked me and I fell on the road.
"I have injuries on my head, legs, ankles and elbows," said S Deepa when recounting this morning's ordeal.
According to Deepa, her former husband, Izwan Abdullah, 30, came to her house in Jelebu around 9am and called out their son's name.
When the boy appeared, she said, Izwan, who works with an Islamic NGO, grabbed their son and immediately ran to the car, with another person at the wheel.
The 30-year-old clerk later filed a report with the Seremban district police headquarters.
Court decision
On Monday, the High Court in Seremban granted Deepa a divorce and custody of the couple’s son and nine-year-old daughter.
However, the children remain Muslim converts and Deepa must pursue a separate case to revoke their conversion.
Izwan, who converted to Islam last year and later converted the two children without their mother’s knowledge, was visibly upset with the court decision.
Deepa's lawyers will be filing a contempt of court application against Izwan, formerly known as N Viran, tomorrow.
Malaysiakini was earlier notified about the incident by Women's Aid Organisation (WAO) advocacy officer Sally Wangsawijaya, who has been helping Deepa in her fight for the custody of her children.
In her police report, Deepa said her former husband took their son away in a green Mitsubishi Pajero.
She also stated that when she attempted to stop him, her clothes got caught in the car door and she was dragged on the road as the vehicle was driven off.
