Former Mr India contest winner Manoj Patil, a resident of Oshiwara in Mumbai, allegedly tried to commit suicide by consuming some pills. He was rushed to the Cooper Hospital where his condition is said to be critical. His manager said that the incident took place at around 12:30 am on September 16.

Manoj Patil, a few days back, had written a letter to the Oshiwara Police demanding an FIR against actor Sahil Khan. In the letter, Patil alleged that he was being defamed by actor and bodybuilder Sahil Khan.

The Instagram accounts of both parties have videos presumably targeting each other. While Manoj Patil in a video without naming Sahil Khan can be seen mocking a certain individual and saying that numerous attempts have been made to defame him. On the other hand, Sahil Khan also shared a video mocking a certain individual.

Pari Naaz, the manager of Manoj Patil, said that Manoj had taken the extreme step after being harassed by Sahil Khan. “He was being harassed for over a year. His phone number had been made viral. And last night he was with his friends and on his way home he went to a chemist shop and bought the pills. His friends weren't aware what he took but when he reached home he didn’t even have dinner and fell unconscious. We then rushed him to hospital.” she said.

His condition is learnt to be critical.
