National police spokesman Saud Usman Nasution says Norman Kamaru was dishonorably discharged Tuesday after failing to show up at work for two months.
A video of Kamaru trying to lift the spirits of a heartbroken colleague by shimmying and lip-synching to the Bollywood hit “Chaiyya Chaiyya” went viral in April.
Initially, the top brass was furious. But their tune changed after the public rallied to Kamaru’s support.
With a $100,000 record deal in his pocket, he recently told his bosses he wanted out. They said no. And Kamaru stopped coming to work.
