Washington, February 22
(ANI): A Nepalese man, standing just 22 inches tall, is trying to claim the
title of the world’s shortest man.
Khagendra Thapa Magar is
looking to topple current record holder He Pingping of China who is 29 inches
tall.
The 18-year-old left his
home country for Europe to draw the attention of Guinness World Record
officials, who, it was claimed, are yet to respond, Discovery News reported.
His father, Rup Bahadur
Thapa Magar, told reporters in Kathmandu: “We are going to Italy to try to
record his name in the Guinness Book of World Records.”
