Prixcy, the pet dog kidnapped and later abandoned near Vile Parle railway station following a ransom conflict, has been reunited with his family in Juhu after he was found in Andheri, 15 days after going missing. Shruti Prakash Patel, a 23-year-old banking and finance professional from Andheri East, spotted Prixcy in distress near Andheri railway station. She took him to a hospital for treatment and arranged temporary shelter with optometrist Sandeep Bhosale, who lives in Ashok Nagar Society on Marol Military Road, Andheri East. Bhosale cared for the dog and temporarily named him “Shanky.”

Prixcy has since returned to the Joshi family at Rustomjee Ciroc Tower in Juhu. The household includes Aditi Joshi, her parents Manav and Ritu, and her brother Adityavikram. On April 15, a security supervisor named Rajendra Pandharkar kidnapped Prixcy, a male Pomeranian, after allegedly receiving R4000 less in salary from his contractor. In retaliation, Pandharkar demanded R25,000 as ransom, then removed the dog’s collar and ID tag before abandoning him near Vile Parle West railway station. CCTV footage in the area captured the entire incident. Prixcy eventually wandered off and ended up outside Andheri West railway station.
