As the nation experienced its worst economic crisis, protesters broke into President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s home on Saturday. According to local media, they claimed to have recovered a sizable sum of money from the mansion. The confiscated money reportedly was given to the security units, according to Sri Lanka’s leading daily newspaper, Daily Mirror.
Following the unrest on Saturday, when tens of thousands of demonstrators surrounded his official mansion in Colombo’s capital city and forced him to flee to an unidentified location, several shocking footage have been making the rounds on social media.
With the demand for President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s resignation, they barged into his home, tore down police-erected security barriers, jumped in the pool, and ransacked his kitchen and residence. According to the news source, demonstrators can be seen counting the money notes they say were found at the President’s official residence in one of the social media videos
