Srinagar: A Kashmiri man claimed that he is 60 years older than his wife at 141 which makes him the oldest person alive.
While the Guinness World Records is investigating the claim, Feroz-un-Din Mir, from Kashmir, said that he has a government certificate proving he was born on March 10, 1872.
If the claims are true, he would be the oldest person alive, 26 years older than the 115-year-old Misao Okawa, the current record holder. He would also overtake Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment as the oldest person to have ever lived who died in 1997 at the age of 122.
Feroz-un-Din Mir is married to a woman in her eighties, Misra, and has outlived four other wives. Mir can still walk and talk with a broken voice, though his eyesight has almost faded away. However, he can still recognise his relatives.Srinagar: A Kashmiri man claimed that he is 60 years older than his wife at 141 which makes him the oldest person alive.
