A Border Security Force officer became the world's first high ranking official to climb Mount Everest.
Sharab Chandub Negi, additional deputy inspector general of BSF, also became the oldest Indian to climb the peak, Himalayan Times reported on Monday.
Negi, 56, was the leader of the BSF Everest expedition and scaled the peak on May 19, the newspaper said.
"I did not know that I had set any records when I reached the summit because that was not my intention," Negi was quoted as saying.
