Indian Army tweeted about Anil Puri's feat with his pictures.
Lieutenant General Anil Puri has become the first serving Lieutenant General-rank officer of the Indian Army to complete France's oldest cycling event - 1,200-km Paris-Brest-Paris circuit.
The 56-year-old officer completed the circuit on August 23 by "cycling non-stop for 90 hours, without sleep", Indian Army said in a tweet.
More than 31,125 riders have managed to complete Paris-Brest-Paris Randonneur ever since the long-distance cycling event started in 1931.
This year, the picturesque town of Rambouillet hosted the departure and arrival for the event.
