Kitchener Road brawl: Jail and caning for assault

According to court documents, one of Satish’s alleged accomplices, Kirrthik Roshan Prem Ananth, 24, used a chair to hit Naviinjaay in the torso. Kirrthik is expected to plead guilty in January 2027.

For the current case, Deputy Public Prosecutor Jonathan Tan said Satish was intoxicated when he arrived in Sam Leong Road, near Kitchener Road, at around 4am on Sept 22, 2024, in a private-hire vehicle with a group of people including Kirrthik, Sajid and Pradave.

At around the same time, there was a commotion nearby involving eight people from Dhinessh’s group, and three women.

Shortly after Kirrthik tried to clear the commotion, an altercation broke out involving Satish, Pradave and several members of Dhinessh’s group.

Sajid and Kirrthik joined the brawl later, said the prosecutor.

The DPP said Sajid used a knife to slash three people including Naviinjaay and Dhinessh as they ran past.

Court documents stated that Kirrthik hit Naviinjaay with a chair.

Satish later kicked Naviinjaay and stamped on his face once.

Police and paramedics were called to the scene, and the victim was taken to hospital.

Satish was arrested at around 5.15am that day.

On Oct 28, defence lawyer Kanthan Raghavendra from Kalidass Law Corporation pleaded for his client to be given a year and six months’ jail, and four strokes of the cane.

He said Satish did not use weapons during the assault.
