Uddhav Sena Leader Abhishek Ghosalkar Shot Dead During Facebook Live, Shooter Kills Self

Abhishek Ghosalkar, former Shiv Sena corporator and the son of an ex-MLA, was shot over a personal dispute in the Dahisar area in Mumbai on Thursday. Abhishek was taken to Karuna Hospital in Borivali in a serious condition where he died.

The incident took place days after a BJP MLA was caught on camera firing at an Eknath Shinde faction leader inside a police station at Ulhasnagar raising questions over Maharashtra's law and order situation.

Who Was Abhishek Ghosalkar?

Abhishek Ghosalkar was the son of Vinod Goshalkar, an old-timer of Uddhav's party. He was the chairman of the Mumbai Buildings Repairs and Reconstruction Board. Abhishek's wife too served as a corporator when the ward became reserved for women.

What Happened On The Spot?

According to reports, the attack occurred in the office of some Mauris Noronha, popularly known as Mauris Bhai with whom Abhishek had some personal enmity. However, they patched up recently and Abhishek Ghosalkar was reportedly invited to Mauris Noronha's office for an event. According to the ANI report, Mauri's bhai allegedly shot Abhishek Ghosalkar before shooting himself and the entire incident was live-streamed on Facebook.
