Assailant Says He Attacked Bittiri Satti On His Own 

The Banjara Hills police sent in remand Manikantha, the 26-year-old youth, who attacked comedian and TV personality Bittiri Satti. During the interrogation, Manikantha said the decision to attack Bittiri Satti was his own and that he was prompted by none.

It may be recalled that Bittiri Satti was attacked on Monday by Manikantha right in front of the V6 TV Channel. The youth came to Satti with a request for a selfie and before the comedian could realise, hit him with his helment. A shocked Satti was rushed to Star Hospital in Banjara Hills. Doctors attending on him said that his injures were not of a serious nature.

Manikantha is a resident of Kalasiguda in Secunderabad. Manikantha, an aspiring film writer and a graduate in Journalism and Mass Communications, said that he wanted to teach a lesson to Bittiri Satti for insulting the Telangana dialect. He said Satti's manner of speech and his diction was an insult to Telangana and hence, he wanted to teach him a lesson. He admitted that he had been doing a recce for the past few days. A case has been filed against Manikantha.

Bittiri Satti has carved a niche for himself with his unique Telangana diction through Teenmar programme on V6. He is currently busy as a film comedian and stand-up comedian. He is also doing a comedy reality show titled Zoo Lakataka. Bittiri Satti's real name is Kavali Ravikumar.
