Mohammjed Zakir, resident of Pipili town in Puri district, demonstrated his feat at the Judo Hall in state capital Bhubaneswar in the presence of hundreds of people.

Prominent among those who witnessed the event were state Industry Minister Biswa Bhusan Harichandan and Deputy Inspector General of Central Reserve Police Force Gurdev Singh Mastana.

Zakir told IANS later that no one has created such a record.

Keshab Swain, 35, a resident of Orissa, entered the Limca Book of Records last year for breaking 135 green coconuts in seven minutes and 26 seconds with his elbow.

Zakir hopes his feat would get him into the Guinness Book of World Records.
