  Manoj Patil’s suicide note

• His manager, Pari Naaz, while giving her statement to the local police said,
  

  Manoj 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 of what he took but when he reached home he didn’t even have dinner and fell unconscious. We then rushed him to hospital.”

• In the police statement, his mother said,
  

  My son told me that he was being mentally harassed by Sahil Khan. It came to a state where he said ‘I feel like ending my life’ and he tried to take his life.”

• During an interview, while talking about the whole incident, the local Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Suraj
  

  Manoj Patil had approached me for help and I had promised him to take him to Raj Thackeray as well. He told me how he had been facing problems for months. Till the time it was restricted to professional rivalry it was ok but for some time Sahil Khan started targeting his personal life and commented about his wife and also threatened that his visa would be cancelled which made him take this step.”

• Later, Sahil Khan denied all accusations and held a press conference in which he said,
  

  The case has nothing to do with me. The whole thing is between Manoj Patil and a person named Raj Faujdar. First of all, committing suicide is a crime in India. Manoj should understand that. Raj has transaction receipts of Rs 2 lakhs with Manoj’s name mentioned on it and not mine. If I come and sell drugs outside your house and if you put that up on social media, would I be able to say that you are bullying me? I have spoken the truth, that which Raj Faujdar shared with me. I have just uploaded that on my social media.”
