Khalid Abu Bakar says that he is not worried about the safety of the six-year-old boy as he is with his father.
KUALA LUMPUR: Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar has advised S. Deepa and her Muslim convert husband Izwan Viran Abdullah to settle their problem privately.
Khalid said the police were not worried about the safety of the six-year-old boy who was taken away from the mother yesterday because he was with the father.
Yesterday, FMT reported that the mother, who won custody of her two children four days ago, wanted the police to arrest her ex-husband for violating a court order by abducting their son.
“There are two court orders – civil and syariah. In this case it is best if the two can settle their problem,” said Khalid.
However, he said police were monitoring the situation and had not received any warrant.
Deepa told FMT in Seremban yesterday that she was worried that Izwan might take her son overseas.
“Why are the police still unable to nab my ex-husband?” she asked.
“Police must take action soon because he has violated the court order by abducting my son,” said Deepa.
Deepa alleged that the Green Mitshubishi Pajero used in the abduction yesterday belonged to Yayasan Kasih Sayang where Izwan was working.
When contacted, the female staff of Yayasan Kasih Sayang said she would relay the message on the Pajero to her superior who was in Kuala Lumpur.
However, no one from Yayasan Kasih Sayang called FMT to verify the matter.
Jelebu police chief Deputy Supt Setapa Yusoff could not be reached for comments.
Meanwhile, Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO) was not too delighted by Khalid’s attitude towards the case.
Defending Deepa, the women rights NGO said talking things out between affected parties could only happen when both are willing to do so, on a level playing field.
“But did the ex-husband give Deepa the chance to talk things over before he converted their children to Islam? He didn’t. Should Deepa be forced to talk things over with an abusive ex-husband? We don’t think so.
“Did the ex-husband want to talk when he violently snatched the son from Deepa? He didn’t,” said WAO via a Facebook post, adding that the police must immediately enforce the high court order.
