Indian police have arrested Harsh Vardhan Jain, who allegedly ran a fake embassy from a rented home near New Delhi, posing as an ambassador for imaginary nations like 'Westarctica' and 'Seborga.' Over nearly a decade, Jain is accused of orchestrating a massive scam worth around ₹300 crore ($36 million), making 162 foreign trips, and operating multiple shell companies and overseas bank accounts. He lured job seekers with false promises of employment and diplomatic privileges, using forged documents, fake diplomatic passports, and luxury cars with diplomatic plates. The investigation has also uncovered links to controversial figures, including a godman and a Saudi arms dealer. Authorities say the case exposes vulnerabilities in trust infrastructure and highlights the bizarre world of micronation scams.
