Youth pulls van with nails to script Guinness record

Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu, Jan 13 (UNI) Aiming for an entry into the Guinness Book of World Records, a 20-year-old youth today successfully pulled a four-tonne van with his nails, in this coastal district.

J Antony Prabhakar, an MSc student, managed to pull the van to a distance of about 15 ft with a rope tied to the nails in his left hand.

Prabhakar, also an expert in karate, had created a record by pulling a van with his teeth in 2006.

Performing the feat in the presence of local MLA Ayyappan and about 500 people, Prabhakar, hailing from this district, told newspersons that he would try something different next time to quench his thirst for creating records.
