The Special Task Force of Uttar Pradesh Police has uncovered a fake embassy operating in Ghaziabad, led by Harsh Vardhan Jain who claimed diplomatic status for an imaginary 'West Arctica'.
Jain's arrest on Tuesday revealed his engagement in fraudulent job placements and a suspected hawala operation through shell companies. His deviousness extended to using doctored images with prominent figures to deceive potential victims.
Authorities seized fake diplomatic items, including passports, number plates, and official stamps. Associations to controversial figures and past legal troubles suggest an elaborate web of deceit sustaining Jain's criminal activities.
