Former Mr India contest winner and popular bodybuilder Manoj Patil attempted suicide by allegedly consuming some pills at 12.30 am today. He was immediately rushed to Mumbai's Cooper Hospital and his condition is said to be critical as of now.

Now, Sahil has issued a statement and reacted to the allegation of his alleged involvement in Manoj's case. In the statement, Sahil mentioned, "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!"
