The crime happened in front of a Facebook live audience, and the accused offender, Mauris Noronha, took his own life soon after. The unsettling video quickly went viral on the internet, raising many people’s concerns about the protection and safety of public figures as well as politicians.
According to a Times Now story, Noronha and Vinod Ghosalkar’s son Abhishek were allegedly in a competition over political ambitions for the 2018 Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections.
Previously, Ghosalkar held the position of corporator, which Noronha subsequently pursued. According to reports, Noronha attempted to get support for his candidacy in the elections from the BJP, the Shinde faction, and the Ajit Pawar group.
