A viral video reveals the incident that took place at Mauris Noronha’s office in IC Colony, Borivali (West). During the attack, Ghosalkar was shot in the shoulder and abdomen.
Initial inquiries indicate that a persistent rivalry existed between Ghosalkar, a former corporator and the son of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Vinod Ghosalkar, and Noronha, a social worker with political ambitions. Residents mentioned a struggle for dominance in the area between these two men, whose offices were next to each other.
It has been reported that Mauris Noronha intended to run for office and had exchanged multiple social media images with politicians. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut has criticized the government’s handling of the situation in light of his current interactions with the chief minister of Maharashtra and other politicians.
This event adds to the spate of political violence that has recently occurred in Maharashtra, including the shooting in Ulhasnagar of Shiv Sena leader Mahesh Gaikwad by BJP MLA Ganpat Gaikwad. The event, which happened during a disagreement over a land issue, wounded politicians as well as those who endorsed them, highlighting the increasing pressure in the state’s political system.
