COLOMBO (News 1st) – Horrifying video recordings of an Advisor to Sri Lanka’s President allegedly sexually abusing a dog have gone viral.
Prof. Ashu Marasinghe, Advisor to the President and former Member of Parliament, resigned today (Friday, 23rd) hours after news of the damning videos broke, citing personal reasons.
Marasinghe, 51, was appointed as a National List Member of Parliament representing the United National Party and served in the legislature from 2017-2020.
Former MP Hirunika Premachandra held a media briefing on Friday and revealed the video recordings which she said had been made by a woman named Aadarsha Karandana, who owned the pet dog.
Ms. Karandana told the media that she had been Marasinghe’s girlfriend after meeting him online on Facebook, and had lived with him for two years. She said she had grown suspicious after noticing changes in the dog’s behavior and had secretly recorded the acts of bestiality without his knowledge.
