Patil’s manager had said that he took the step after being harassed by actor Sahil Khan. Patil is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital in Mumbai.
Manoj Patil had allegedly tried to commit suicide by consuming sleeping pills at his residence in suburban Oshiwara in the wee hours on Thursday
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.
