Sri Lankan cop sacked for playing piano as protesters broke into President's house | Oneindia News

On Friday, Sri Lanka's police force said that it had sacked an officer who entertained protesters with an impromptu piano performance after they entered the island nation's presidential compound last year.

Constable R M D Dayaratne was deployed to help protect the colonial-era residence on the day it was taken over by protesters who forced then-president Gotabaya Rajapaksa to flee the country.

Instead, reports revealed that he sat at a grand piano in the compound and played a song to the crowd streaming through its rooms. A senior officer, speaking on condition of anonymity said that Dayaratne was on social media playing the piano while the building was being vandalised.
