Amravati’s Police constable Pravin Akhar hoisted the tricolor while riding a bicycle in an 11 feet deep and 21 meter long swimming tank. During this performance of one minute 51 seconds, he did not come above the water even once.
45-year-old Pravin Dadarao Akhar has been working in the police Department for 25 years. Earlier also, he has registered his name in the India and Asia Book Record by doing 50 types of yoga while floating on water.
This year on Republic Day, he jumped into an 11 feet deep swimming pool from a bicycle. Riding on a bicycle, he reached the middle of the 21 meter long swimming pool and hoisted the flag. Then he reached the other end. During this feat of approximately two minutes, he remained still in the water while controlling his breathing.
