Unveiling the Fake Embassy Scandal in Ghaziabad
In a surprising and significant operation, the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) has dismantled a fraudulent embassy setup in Ghaziabad. The operation led to the arrest of Harsh Vardhan Jain, the alleged mastermind behind the scheme, at the location where the fake embassy was operating.
A Bungalow Transformed into a Phony Embassy
Jain had converted a rented bungalow in Ghaziabad’s Kavi Nagar area into an ’embassy’ for a self-styled micronation called West Arctica. He also falsely claimed to represent other micronations such as Saborga, Poulvia, and Lodonia. By posing as their ambassador, he attempted to give his operations an air of legitimacy.

To further bolster his image, Jain used luxury cars equipped with fake diplomatic number plates. These vehicles were a key part of his strategy to project himself as a powerful and influential diplomat.
Operation and Arrest
The STF acted on intelligence received from central agencies and conducted a raid on the premises on July 22. During the operation, they arrested Jain on the spot. According to police officials, the accused had been using manipulated photographs featuring global leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, and various heads of state. These images were used to deceive and influence unsuspecting individuals.
Deception Through Promises
The investigation uncovered that Jain’s main scam involved deceiving people and companies by promising to facilitate overseas business deals and employment opportunities. Additionally, he was allegedly running a hawala network through shell companies, which is a form of money laundering.

Links to Controversial Figures
Jain’s history includes suspected connections with controversial figures like Chandraswami, a well-known godman, and Adnan Khashoggi, an international arms dealer. In 2011, he was involved in a case related to possessing an illegal satellite phone, according to police records.
Ongoing Investigations and Legal Proceedings
A new case has been registered at the Kavi Nagar police station, and legal proceedings are currently underway. Authorities have indicated that more arrests may follow as they continue to investigate Jain’s network and potential collaborators. The case highlights the need for vigilance against such deceptive practices and underscores the importance of law enforcement efforts in maintaining public trust.
