According to Manjari, Mikey had been a familiar and beloved part of the society since 2019-2020. When the dog suddenly went missing, residents put up posters and searched for him, hoping he would return safely. However, what they later learned left them devastated.
In a social media post, the actress claimed that Mikey had been “brutally murdered” and vowed to fight for justice.
“Our Mikey was brutally murdered and we are going to fight for him. This should never happen to any dog ever again in any society anywhere. People should be scared to hurt an animal. We need stronger laws against animal cruelty,” she wrote.
