The family members of Maruti Hanumanth Koli from Bidar district, who is said to be the State’s tallest man, have sought financial assistance from the State government for his medical treatment.
At 7.5 ft, the 40-year-old Maruti Koli, hailing from Chintaki village in the border region of Aurad taluk, is reckoned to be the tallest man in the State.
Maruti Koli’s unusual height itself has been the cause of several ailments in the last five years and he is finding it difficult to perform even his daily chores.
