Who was Mauris Noronha, man who killed Shiv Sena (UBT) leader during FB live?
PTC News Desk: Uddhav Sena leader Abhishek Ghosalkar was shot dead during a Facebook live on Thursday. Mauris Noronha allegedly fired three bullets at Ghosalkar after the two hosted a Facebook live celebrating the end of their feud.
Noronha killed himself after shooting Ghosalkar with three bullets. Ghosalkar was still alive when police arrived, and the Uddhav Sena leader was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, where he died from his injuries.
Mauris Noronha, also known as "Mauris bhai" in Borivali, described himself on social media as an award-winning social worker, Covid warrior, and philanthropist.
Mauris Noronha planned a trip to the Infant Jesus Shrine in Nashik on February 10 for the locals, as mentioned by the Uddav Sena leader during the Facebook live streaming.
Mauris was reportedly trying to get into the Shiv Sena faction led by Uddhav Thackeray. Apparently, both Mauris Noronha and Abhishek Ghosalkar wanted to contest from Ward No. 1.
Police issued a lookout notice for Mauris in 2022 after he allegedly blackmailed, sexually assaulted cheated, and threatened a 48-year-old woman. The allegations date back to 2014, but the complaint was filed in 2022. Noronha was arrested in connection with the incident.
Following the incident on Thursday, a photo of Mauris receiving an award from Amruta Fadnavis, the wife of Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, surfaced.
Chief Minister Eknath Shinde announced a thorough investigation into the firing incident, while Uddhav Sena leader Sanjay Raut demanded Devendra Fadnavis' resignation due to Maharashtra's deteriorating law and order situation.
