Poker, Poll Ticket, Rape Case: What Led To Team Thackeray Leader's Death

Suspecting that Abhishek Ghosalkar was behind the legal troubles he faced, Mauris Noronho allegedly came up with a plan to kill him.
Mumbai police have arrested one person after the son of a prominent Shiv Sena UBT leader, Abhishek Ghosalkar, was shot and killed during a Facebook Live. The attacker, Mauris Noronha, then turned the gun on himself. The person arrested, Mehul Parikh, was also reportedly at the site when the shootings took place.
Abhishek Ghosalkar, the son of former Uddhav Thackeray faction councillor Vinod Ghosalkar, had recently reconciled with Mauris Noronha, who was popularly known as Mauris 'Bhai', after some disagreement. The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, as the two were seen patching up during the Facebook Live event, which was being webcast from Noronha's office.
A viral video of the incident, which took place at assailant Noronha's office in IC Colony in the northern suburb of Borivali (West) on Thursday evening, showed Ghosalkar being shot in the abdomen and shoulder.
