Mother holds teddy bear outside police HQ in plea for daughter's return

M. Indira Gandhi staged a protest outside the national police headquarters, demanding a meeting with the Inspector-General of Police. She carried a large teddy bear in a stroller as a symbol of her daughter, Prasana Diksa, who was abducted as an infant by her father in 2009. The mother and her supporters blocked a traffic lane after marching from a city shopping center, vowing to remain until the police chief accepted the symbolic item.

Arun Dorasamy, a leader of the action group supporting Gandhi, questioned the prolonged delay for the scheduled meeting. Police officers requested that the demonstrators move from the road to allow vehicles to pass. The protest follows recent social media allegations that the missing father remains in Malaysia and has received government aid, contradicting official statements about his whereabouts. A recent High Court order also directed police to intensify their search for the missing teenager.
