LONDON: A Sri Lankan secretly ate McDonald's burgers while on a hunger-strike outside the British Parliament to highlight the plight of Tamils
during war with the LTTE, it was revealed on Friday.
According to The Daily Mail, Parameswaran Subramaniyan, 28, had eased his ordeal by eating burgers.
The Scotland Yard surveillance teams using specialist monitoring equipment had watched in disbelief as he tucked into the clandestine deliveries.
The hunger strike and demonstrations had left the police with a $7.1 million overtime bill. The Scotland Yard made no official comment but senior sources said police decided against dragging the bogus hunger striker out of his tent for fear it would start a riot.
Police had mounted a 24-hour presence in the Parliament Square from April 6 to June 17.
