Consul General Barry Hoffman says Aftab Khan told him during a visit to his cell Monday he doesn't know Shahzad and had no contact with him.
Hoffman says Khan is a "scared young man" who doesn't understand why he was arrested last week.
Khan, his roommate and a man arrested in Maine, are being held on immigration charges.
Authorities say they funneled money to Shahzad but may not have known how the money would be used.
Shahzad was captured on a plane bound for Dubai days after the bomb attempt. A cousin of Shahzad's father called his detention "a conspiracy."
