Famous bodybuilder and former Mr. India title holder, Manoj Patil attempted suicide at his Oshiwara residence by overdosing on sleeping pills, on Thursday, September 16.
He was rushed to Cooper Hospital after being found in a critical condition. Manoj blamed popular Bollywood actor, Sahil Khan, in his suicide note, putting the latter in deep trouble and severe allegations.
In conversation with ETimes, Sahil revealed, “I had met a boy named Raj Faujdar on a social networking site. He’s from Delhi and had made a video that Manoj Patil took Rs 2 lakhs from him and sold him expired steroids after which had developed some heart problems and skin issues as well.”
He further added, “I also said that the steroids racket should stop. Faujdar had said Manoj Patil was not returning his money and he had even sold his motorcycle to arrange for funds”.
Breaking his silence on Manoj’s allegations while claiming them to be false, Sahil shared, “All I have done is support the boy and stood against selling steroids since it’s a crime in our country. What if the guy had died after consuming expired steroids? This could be a publicity stunt with a communal angle. I have had no direct association with Manoj, I have not had any transaction with him either. I have supported a victim of expired steroids and the man who has committed the crime goes and attempts suicide and names in his note.”
