Manjari Fadnnis Seeks Justice After Alleged Brutal Attack on Society Dog MikeyPreviousNext

Actor Manjari Fadnnis shared an emotional video alleging that Mikey, a community dog in her residential society since 2019, was brutally attacked and possibly killed. She described how Mikey was struck on the head with a stick or rod, dragged, beaten until bleeding, and then placed in a sack and thrown into a creek. Residents had searched extensively for Mikey, and a society member reportedly confessed to the attack. Fadnnis called for stronger animal cruelty laws and justice for Mikey, receiving support from animal activists and fellow residents.
