The IGP said that he had instructed officers to locate and to arrest the Muslim convert for contempt of court in the interfaith child custody case the same day he received orders from the Federal Court to do so.
“We have taken all necessary measures to ensure that he is picked up. We have tried to locate him from the day the court order was issued.
“There is no information to show that he has left the country. But we are still checking on that,” said Khalid at a press conference here after presenting some 200 general operations force members with medals for their service during Ops Daulat.
Last Friday, the Federal Court ordered the IGP to arrest Muhammad Riduan for contempt of court, over his refusal to hand custody of their youngest child ― Prasana Diksa to her in the high-profile child conversion case.
The Federal Court also upheld the initial mandamus order issued by the Ipoh High Court to Khalid, ordering the court to monitor the procedures to track and to arrest Muhammad Riduan.
The court ruled that the committal order against Muhammad Riduan was justified as he has repeatedly failed to produce the couple’s child — Prasana Diksa, now aged eight — in court.
The Ipoh High Court in 2010 had granted Indira full custody of all three children.
Indira told Malay Mail Online recently that she was depending on the police to locate her ex-husband and daughter, saying she could not afford a private investigator to find the two.
