Former Mr India contest winner Manoj Patil had allegedly tried to commit suicide by consuming sleeping pills at his residence in suburban Oshiwara in the wee hours on Thursday, police said. After the alleged incident, which took place between 12.30 am and 1 am at Patil's home in Saileela building in Oshiwara, his family members rushed him to a hospital where his condition was stated to be "critical", his manager Pari Naaz said. He is currently undergoing treatment at the hospital.
Later in the day, after his name was dragged in the controversy, Sahil Khan hosted a press conference to clarify his stand. Sahil Khan, who made his Bollywood debut with N. Chandras 2001 release, "Style", stated that that the entire matter is between Manoj Patil and a person named Raj Faujdar.
Sahil said that he will bring his side of the story during the press conference. The actor further said that legal action must be taken against an individual, who is proved wrong in the case. Khan added that he will reveal the reason why his name was dragged in the controversy.
"I have been involved in the suicide attempt case of Mr. Manoj Patil and hence I want to bring forward my side of the story today. I want to speak about the real truth and the real reason why my name is bought into this controversy, along with proof. If after that anyone feels that my explanation and proof are not convincing enough, then let the legal system take its due course, but if any other individual is proved wrong then there should be legal action taken against him too," said Sahil.
