The protesters have questioned what President Rajapaksa was hiding in the bunker, even suggesting that he has stored the money "looted" from the people of the country.
Sri Lankan protesters who have been occupying President Gotabaya Rajapaksa's official residence for over 48 hours now, with videos showing them treating themselves to the luxuries of the palace, have discovered a secret bunker while ransacking the building.
Reporting from inside the Presidential palace, NDTV also spotted the secret bunker where protesters were flocking in curiosity.
The bunker is concealed by a fake cupboard, which the protesters have broken down to access the hidden areas of the palace. The bunker is accessible by both stairs and an elevator. However, the door to it remains shut. The heavy metal security door could not be forced open or broken down. It has scratches and other marks showing people unsuccessfully did try to knock it down.
