The video shared by Manjari Fadnnis shows her in tears as she recalled the horrific ordeal. “We had a dog called Mikey, who was abandoned by his family. And he has been a part of our society since 2019. He was a really sweet dog. He went missing. We were all worried and we all tried to find where he is. We made posters. We put them everywhere and tried to search him incessantly. And finally today, somebody from here confessed. Somebody who knows the people who have done it,” she said.
Manjari said that someone aware of what happened to Mikey had come forward and shared details of the alleged attack. “He confessed to us that Mikey was sleeping quietly in one of our building basement areas and he was hit on his head. He got very disoriented. They dragged him into the staircase area and they hit him more that he was bleeding from his mouth and he pooed and peed. In half death, they put him inside a goni (sack) and threw him off into this khadi (creek) area behind.”
The actress said she has no clue whether the dog survived or not. “We are trying to search for his body right now,” she said in the video. In the caption, she wrote, “Our Mikey was Brutally Murdered… & we are going to fight for him… This should never happen with ANY Dog Ever again in any Society anywhere! People should be SCARED to hurt an animal! We NEED Stronger laws against Animal Cruelty!”
The actress also thanked animal rights and welfare activist Xavier Santiago for supporting her in her fight for justice. She also expressed gratitude to members of her housing society who have stood by her during this difficult time.

Filmmaker Ananth Mahadevan wrote, “Oh god this is heartbreaking. Numbing. Which barbaric society does this?”
