Khagendra Thapa Magar:- world smallest man

A Nepalese Boy Khagendra Thapa Magar  (born October 14, 1992), son of Rup Bahadur and Dhana Maya Thapa Magar measured in at 26.4 inches is officially declared as the world's shortest man by Guinness record officials displacing the former record holder, Edward Nino Hernandez of Colombia, who measures 27 inches. 

Cheers went up when Magar was handed a world record certificate by Guinness official Marco Frigatti. The ceremony was held in a hotel in Pokhara.

"I can confirm that as of today Khagendra Thapa Magar is officially the shortest man in the world," Frigatti announced as he handed over the certificate.

Magar's family has campaigned for years to get him the crown, but earlier requests to Guinness were rejected because of the possibility he might grow.
