Mumbai Court Permits Polygraph Tests for Two Witnesses in Ghosalkar Murder Case
A Mumbai sessions court has approved polygraph tests for two witnesses, Mehul Parekh and Ryan Gore, in the Central Bureau of Investigation's probe into the 2024 murder of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Abhishek Ghosalkar. The court denied the request to test Amarendra Mishra, Noronha's bodyguard and a suspect who did not consent. The case, involving Noronha who allegedly shot Ghosalkar during a Facebook Live before dying by suicide, was transferred to the CBI for deeper investigation by the Bombay High Court.
