[2] On 11 November 2009 however Sahni was seriously injured in a bike accident along with teammate Sunil Kumar Thakur in Margao, Goa while the team were preparing for an upcoming match against Salgaocar in the I-League. [3] As a result of the accident Sahni required 25 stitches and he fractured his shin. [3] At this point in the season Sahni was in top form with six goals in the opening seven matches.

In 2010 Sahni signed with I-League giants East Bengal. [5]
Sahni faced monetary issues while playing, so he decided to retire early at the age of 31. Sahni said, "In 2019 I left for Canada. I was not getting paid enough. I had to earn my bread and butter and I also have a family to take care of. I retired from football because after football there is a life too and that is hard but you have to accept that life and take it on the chin." [6]
