Indian police have arrested Harsh Vardhan Jain, who allegedly ran a fake embassy from a lavish bungalow near New Delhi, posing as a diplomat 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 12 fake diplomatic passports, luxury cars, and multiple overseas bank accounts linked to the scam. Jain reportedly made over 160 foreign trips and used morphed photos with top Indian leaders to bolster his credibility. The case exposes vulnerabilities in diplomatic protocols and highlights the bizarre world of micronation scams.
