जाली दूतावास तंत्र उजागर: भारतीय 'राजदूत' को करोड़ों के घोटाले में फंसाया गया

Indian police have arrested Harsh Vardhan Jain, who allegedly ran a fake embassy from a rented house near New Delhi, posing as an ambassador for fictional micronations like 'Westarctica' and 'Seborga.' Over nearly a decade, Jain is accused of duping job seekers, laundering money through shell companies, and amassing a fortune estimated at Rs 300 crore. Authorities uncovered evidence of 162 foreign trips, multiple fake diplomatic passports, luxury cars, and offshore bank accounts in several countries. The elaborate scam highlights vulnerabilities in diplomatic protocols and the growing phenomenon of micronation-based fraud. Jain's arrest has sparked wider concerns about identity fraud and the exploitation of legal grey zones in India.
