Bodybuilder suicide bid: Actor Sahil Khan booked

MUMBAI: A day after Manoj Patil, the winner of Mr India 2016 title for body-building , allegedly tried to end his life by taking an overdose of sleeping pills, the Oshiwara police on Friday registered a first information report against four people, including actor Sahil Khan, reportedly in a case of abetment to suicide, criminal intimidation, defamation and common intention.

Till Friday, no one was arrested in the case. “The probe is on in the case registered against actor Khan and three others who drove Patil to take the extreme step. No one has been arrested. Action will be initiated only after completion of the probe,” said a police officer of the Oshiwara police station.

Besides Khan, the three others who were booked on Friday night are Raja Faujdar, Junaid Kalivala and Rubal Dandkar.

Patil is currently recuperating in hospital, and his condition is stated to be stable, said a police officer.

In a letter to the Oshiwara police, Patil has asked for action against Khan accusing him of trying to ruin his career by spreading wrong information on social media.

Khan, however, said that he only supported a victim of an alleged drug scam.
