Thanks for your inputs Sidu,I tried replacing ActiveRecord with 
ActiveModel got the following error:-


/home/mohnish/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/gems/restfulie-1.0.3/lib/restfulie/server/action_controller/patch.rb:2: 
warning: already initialized constant HTTP_METHODS
/home/mohnish/Cognizant/socialtango/app/models/admin_stats.rb:1:in `<top 
(required)>': uninitialized constant ActiveModel::Base (NameError)


Seems like, I will have to look for another workaround..
