The fatal confrontation between Abhishek Ghosalkar and Mauris Noronha occurred during a Facebook Live session, shedding light on the deeply rooted personal dispute that culminated in tragedy. Noronha, a notorious criminal, took the life of the former Shiv Sena UBT corporator by firing three shots, causing critical injuries to Ghosalkar.
Following the shooting, Abhishek Ghosalkar was swiftly rushed to Karuna Hospital in Borivali in a serious condition. Despite medical efforts, both Ghosalkar and Noronha were declared dead by authorities.
Who was Mauris Noronha?

Despite their purported "personal enmity," Ghosalkar and Noronha had organized a Facebook Live session to convey their intention to put an end to their discord for the betterment of the IC Colony area. The revelation of their reconciliation amid their contested bid to contest from Ward No 1 within the Uddhav Thackeray faction of Shiv Sena adds complexity to the unfolding narrative.
Further investigation by Mumbai Police exposed Mauris Noronha's history, revealing past allegations including cheating, attempted murder, threat, and rape dating back to 2014. However, the complaint against Noronha was lodged in 2022, leading to his arrest.
Interestingly, a photograph surfaced online depicting Mauris receiving an award from Amruta Fadnavis, the wife of Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, raising eyebrows and sparking discussions about the connections within the political landscape.
Adding another layer of complexity to the situation, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut alleged in a post on social media platform X that Shinde had recently met Noronha at the chief minister's official residence 'Varsha.' Allegedly, during this encounter, Shinde invited Noronha to join the Shiv Sena faction led by Shinde himself.
