  "account": "For 17 years, M. Indira Gandhi has been left with an unanswered question: where is her daughter, Prasana Diksa? After a recent legal setback, the answer still remains unknown. The kindergarten teacher's disappointment was palpable as the Court of Appeal rejected her RM100 million suit against the police and government, but she made it clear that the case was not about the money. Her plea was simple: to find Prasana.\n\nThe 52-year-old, visibly emotional, recalled the 17 years she has spent searching, battling in court, and waiting for the daughter she gave birth to when her ex-husband, K. Pathmanathan, took her away on March 31, 2009. Prasana is set to turn 18 this year, and Indira remains hopeful that her daughter will reach out to her. However, she has not seen any indication that Prasana has attempted to contact her.\n\nIndira's hope is to see her daughter as soon as possible. She has tried everything: going to court, approaching the police... but it was not enough. \"Just come and see me,\" she pleaded. Regardless of Prasana's future aspirations, Indira stresses that her only desire is to see her.",
