Manjari Fadnis reveals her society dog was murdered
On Monday, the actress took to Instagram to share a video, where she is seen crying inconsolably while talking about the community dog. She revealed that Mikey had been abandoned by his family and had been a part of their society since 2019 or 2020.
She claimed that Mikey had gone missing and the residents had been trying to find him. She added that they even made posters and put them up across the area. They even kept in touch with the security guards and others to find out what had happened to him and where he had gone.
Sharing the details in the video, Manjari said, “I wish I had never needed to make this video, but I think it’s really important.” Describing Mikey as “a really sweet dog,” she added that residents had been searching for him incessantly.
In the video, Manjari said, “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.”
Fadnis then shared that somebody from the society had confessed that Mikey was sleeping quietly near one of the basement areas when he was assaulted with a stick or iron rod. She shared, “He confessed to us that Mikey was sleeping quietly in one of our building`s 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 p**ed and p**d. In half death, they put him inside a goni (sack) and threw him off into this khadi (creek) area behind.”

The actor further mentioned that they have no clue whether the dog survived or not, adding, “We are trying to search for his body right now. He’s gone.”
In the clip, Manjari also urged the Supreme Court to take strict action against animal cruelty, stating that people with “criminal minds” feel safe taking an illegal route to eliminate dogs.
Along with the video, Manjari shared a caption that read, “Our Mikey was Brutally Murdered… and 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!”
