Harshvardhan Jain, 47, was arrested in New Delhi for operating a fake embassy. He promised overseas employment and claimed to have diplomatic connections with mock states such as "Seborga" and "Westarctica." Jain deceived individuals into believing he could secure work contracts in these so-called friendly nations. Police recovered about 4.5 million Indian rupees along with counterfeit documents, including passports and seals. The investigation revealed Jain's involvement in money laundering and other criminal activities through shell companies.
He introduced himself as an ambassador or an advisor for entities like "Seborga" or "Westarctica," claiming he could facilitate work due to his diplomatic clout.
Investigators found doctored photos with world leaders, counterfeit passports, and fake seals of India's Foreign Ministry at Jain's rented property.
