Chennai-based Pradeep Babu sets a new Noble World Record
The Hindu
It is for the maximum number of bikes going over a person in record time
On the afternoon of April 24, Pradeep Babu set out from his home in Chennai’s KK Nagar to the YMCA Grounds in Nandanam. The sun was ablaze, but nothing could deter him from his mission. The sound of 1,222 bikes revving up echoed in the air as he reached his destination. He took a deep breath and lay on the ground. Over the next 37 minutes and 16 seconds, all 1,222 bikes made their way over his body, setting him a new Noble World Record (an independent non-governmental organisation based in Lucknow) for the maximum number of bikes going over the chest of a person in record time. “I had practised for 11 years for that one day. The previous record was set by my master, Hanshi Geribala, where 1,001 bikes went over him in 43.01 minutes,” says the fifth Dan (Designee) black belt holder and member of the All India Zen Isshinryu Karate Association.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
