NEW DELHI – A shocking incident unfolded in Mumbai, India, as Mauris Noronha executed a cold-blooded plan to murder Abhishek Ghosalkar, the son of a Shiv Sena (UBT) leader, during a Facebook live session. This heinous act was the culmination of a twisted plot that took root in a dispute over Noronha’s aspirations for political office and allegations of rape against him.
Noronha, also known as ‘Mauris Bhai’ on social media, initially gained recognition for his charitable work during the COVID-19 pandemic. His philanthropy endeared him to many, but it also fueled his desire to enter the political arena, leading to a clash with Ghosalkar over his candidacy for corporator election. However, the situation escalated when a rape case was filed against Noronha, leading to his imprisonment for five months. He believed Ghosalkar was behind the false rape allegations, aiming to thwart his political ambitions.
In an elaborate and deceitful attempt to win Ghosalkar’s trust, Noronha staged a Facebook live session, pretending to extend an olive branch and mend their relationship in front of the public. Under the guise of supporting Ghosalkar and renouncing his own political aspirations, Noronha lured his victim into a false sense of security, ultimately leading to the fatal confrontation during the live stream.
The carefully orchestrated plan ended in tragedy as Noronha shot Ghosalkar multiple times before turning the gun on himself, ending both their lives in a horrific act of violence. The use of his bodyguard’s firearm, Amarendra Mishra, further implicated others in the deadly scheme, resulting in Mishra’s arrest under the Arms Act. The entire sequence of events underscores the devastating consequences of a personal and political feud taken to the extreme.
The shocking nature of this crime serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked animosity and the dire consequences of allowing personal vendettas to escalate to such tragic proportions. The loss of two lives in this senseless act of violence reverberates through the community, prompting reflection on the need for conflict resolution and the prevention of such devastating outcomes.
