Shirt as tall as two-storeyed building

You can easily go in its pocket and take a nap, enter from its neckline and sneak out of its sleeves accompanied by a friend. Welcome to the 'biggest shirt' in India, as tall as a two-storeyed building.

This 20-feet-long and over 10-feet-wide shirt is the realisation of a big dream by Mahtab Alam, a small businessman in Phusro, a small town in Jharkhand.

"I always wanted to do something different. I often read in newspapers and watched on television about people doing something unique and I wanted to be one of them," Alam, who was in the capital to apply for a place in the Limca Book of Records, told media.

Its pocket measures 3.4 x 4.2 feet, collar 7 feet, sleeves 14 x 5 feet and cuffs 5 x 1.8 feet. The shoulders are 6.8 feet long. For buttons, 17 carom board strikers have been drilled into the cloth.

Suicide Shirt up for grabs

It may sound weird but it is true. People of Kataritola village in Hazaribagh district, 110 km from Ranchi, in Jharkhand state of India fought among themselves to get a piece of a shirt used by a youth to commit suicide.

The people were driven by a superstition that if any material used for hanging is kept in the house, it brings prosperity, the villagers said.

The incident happened in front of the police. A youth committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree using his shirt. Police reached the village and were trying to find out the reason behind the suicide after bringing down the body when the villagers started to fight for the shirt.

"There is strong belief in our society that if the material used in hanging is kept in the house, it brings prosperity and help to the family economically. It also helps in court cases. Considering the belief people tried to get a piece of the cloth," said Snehi Ram, a resident of the village.
