[edit] Bajrangi's testimony
In a hidden-camera interview, Bajrangi said around the time of the 2002 riots:
We didn't spare a single Muslim shop, we set everything on fire … we hacked, burned, set on fire … we believe in setting them on fire because these bastards don't want to be cremated, they're afraid of it … I have just one last wish … let me be sentenced to death … I don't care if I'm hanged ... just give me two days before my hanging and I will go and have a field day in Juhapura where seven or eight lakhs [seven or eight hundred thousand] of these people stay ... I will finish them off … let a few more of them die ... at least 25,000 to 50,000 should die.[2]
Bajrangi was out on bail at the time.

A couple of years after the riots, Bajrangi left the VHP to join the Shiv Sena.
