My son, Abhishek, was a hero who helped many people and always stood for the betterment of society. Mauris Noronha, on the other hand, was a monster who, by killing my son, destroyed both his family and mine,” former MLA Vinod Ghosalkar told mid-day. A month after the shootout at IC Colony in Borivali, the Ghosalkar family said Noronha had gunned down the former corporator because he mistakenly believed that Abhishek had influenced a woman to register a rape case against him at MHB Colony police station.

The incident occurred on February 8 when Ghosalkar and Noronha were addressing viewers on a Facebook Live session. After killing Abhishek Ghosalkar, Noronha died by suicide. However, the crime branch has suspicions about the second death.
