Disc jockey Akhil Talreja (26)u00a0 was watching TV at home and had just heard about the Varanasi blast when a knock at the door jolted him.

He was surprised to see policemen and was even more surprised when they told them that his Wi-Fi connection was used to send an e-mail claiming responsibility for the blast.

Fearing harassment, he reluctantly agreed to go with the policemen for questioning but was relieved when they let him go within 24 hours.

Here's his version of the events:

"I was shocked to see the police at my doorstep and know that my Wi-Fi was hacked by the Indian Mujahideen to claim responsibility for the blast in Varanasi.

"Even though I knew I was innocent, I was still a little wary of harassment at the hands of the policemen.

However, I'm relieved that the police gave me a clean chit within 24 hours of questioning. I will co-operate with them fully."
