Ajaz Ahmed - 8'2" (248.92 cm)



Ajaz Ahmed (b. 1976 d. October 7, 2021) was a Pakistani man claiming to be history's tallest person. He hailed from Bakkhar village in Daryakhan, Punjab, and claimed to be 9 feet (274.32 cm).

He suffered from an orthopaedic problem that afflicted his right leg after he underwent surgery for a hip-bone fracture. He was a farmer from a poor family when he came to the notice of a Pakistani social worker, Shamshad Khan, who helped him get in touch with Syed Qaisar Ali Shah the manager for Ghulam Shabbir, the holder of the Guinness Record for the biggest shoe size (size 74), and the late Alam Channa, the world's tallest man of his times.
