Cheered by thousands, a four-year-old boy ran 40 miles yesterday to enter India's Limca Book of Records.
Budhia Singh, right, a slum resident from Orissa who was once nearly sold by his poverty-stricken mother, was escorted by doctors and 300 cadets of the central reserve police force, which plans to sponsor his upbringing.
He had planned to run 43 miles, but doctors stopped him after 40 miles - run in 7 hours and 2 minutes - due to signs of extreme exhaustion. Biranchi Das, the boy's coach, said he would have completed the run if he had not been interrupted by supporters.
