In the video released on Sunday, Rizvi mentioned that his body must be handed over to his Hindu friend, Mahant Narasimha Nanda Saraswati of the Dasna temple, and he should light his pyre.

Wasim Rizvi has earned the ire of his entire community after he challenged 26 'ayats' of the Quran and then claimed to have written a new Quran.
