In the video, he claimed he was associated with Jehovah's Witnesses, a minority Christian group, years ago, but did not agree with its teachings anymore.
Three people have died while 14 others are under treatment for less severe burns.
Over 50 individuals were injured, some seriously, during the multiple blasts at the international convention centre in Kalamassery where the followers from the minority Christian group, Jehovah's Witnesses, had gathered for the final day of a three-day-long prayer meeting.
