Mumbai: Kenneth Haywood, a former pastor from a small church in Arizona, US, probably never thought he would be caught in a terror web in India.
In an e-mail interview to CNN-IBN, the Navi-Mumbai based American, from whose Internet address a terror e-mail had originated just before the Ahmedabad blasts, says that he voluntarily went for a polygraph test this week to clear his name. He is now accusing the police of unnecessarily prolonging the investigation.
When asked why he went for a polygraph test, he said, “It was either that or wait until whenever their investigation was over. I have a business to run and don't know anything helpful to their investigation anyway.”
Asked if he was still a suspect, he said, “I think they already have their suspect and are just documenting who knew what or that sort of a thing."
Hinting at his frustration over not being given a clean chit till date, Haywood said, “It depends who you talk to. The police from Gujarat told me I had a clean chit last week. The Maharashtra police said they wanted to clear the case first, but they have always said I was not a suspect.”
Haywood also alleged in an interview to a local newspaper that a senior officer of the Anti-Terrorist Squad had come to his house in an inebriated condition, demanding bribe.
"I am really tired of all this now. Am wary of it all,” Hayden said.
Haywood's computer had an unsecured router that did not need a password to access the Internet. Police suspect his computer was hacked into to send the terror email.
