A six-month-old pit bull terrier, named after the memorable Bollywood villain with a penchant for dunking enemies in acid, was allegedly stolen from outside the house of a district court magistrate here on Saturday.
Unable to trace it on their own, the desperate owners filed a police complaint, but the canine, belonging to the ferocious American breed, reappeared on the doorstep of the judge's house today, much to the everyone's relief.
"The dog was found near the back door of the house this morning," said Inspector Dalip Rattan, SHO of Sector 19 police station.
The dog was playing in the garden of the Sector 19 residence of the Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMIC) at that time, while the magistrate, a dog-lover, was in the court here.
The SHO said that it was possible that those who had taken away the dog had dumped him close to the house after which he walked back to the premises.
