Kelantan’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) chief Assistant Commissioner of Police Mohamad Fakri Che Sulaiman said the state police are working with the Immigration Department to “monitor the movement” of Muhammad Riduan Abdullah.
“Kelantan Police has informed all the districts in Kelantan and the districts close to the border plus the marine police to be on the alert,” the officer in charge of criminal investigation under the Kelantan police contingent told Malay Mail Online in an email response today.
Indira and her lawyer M. Kulasegaran had previously voiced fears that Muhammad Riduan may have or is planning to flee across over the Malaysian border from Kelantan to other countries such as Thailand.
Kulasegaran had said Muhammad Riduan’s last known location in 2014 was in Kelantan’s Kota Baru.
Today, Mohamad Fakri noted that Indira’s ex-husband has been put on the wanted-list by the Perak police and said the Kelantan police will “follow through”.
“To date there (has) been no information as to the whereabouts of Muhammad Riduan in Kelantan,” he told Malay Mail Online.
He confirmed the Kelantan police have already initiated the search as directed by the federal police.
He said anyone with any information on Muhammad Riduan’s whereabouts can directly contact Ipoh police headquarters’ senior investigation officer Assistant Superintendent of Police Kamariah Jamaludin (016-5249091) or Pasir Mas district’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) chief Deputy Superintendent of Police Samsulmuddin Sulaiman (012-998 2027).
In a protracted legal battle, the Ipoh High Court had in 2010 granted Indira custody over all three of her children and later ordered Muhammad Riduan to return the youngest child he had snatched away in 2009.
But Muhammad Riduan did not comply with the 2014 order to return Prasana Diksa, resulting in the Ipoh High Court’s order the same year for his arrest over his contempt of court.
The Ipoh High Court also issued a mandamus order the same year to compel the police to arrest him and return Prasana Diksa to Indira.
On April 29, the Federal Court upheld the order to compel the police to arrest Muhammad Riduan and said the Ipoh High Court will monitor the progress of the execution of the arrest warrant.
The apex court said then however that the Ipoh High Court should not have asked the police to recover the youngest child due to conflicting child custody orders from both the civil courts and Shariah courts.
On May 4, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said that he had instructed his officers to locate and to arrest Muhammad Riduan for contempt of court from the day the Federal Court gave its decision, adding that there was no information to show that he had left the country.
