“I am the Ambassador of Westarctica”

An Indian man has been arrested by police in New Delhi after he had been found to be running a fake “embassy” from a rented residential building near the capital. The cops also recovered cars with fake diplomatic plates. Harshvardhan Jain, 47, had apparently duped people for money by promising overseas employment, said senior police officer Sushil Ghule of Uttar Pradesh state’s special task force. The force have reported that Jain claimed to have acted as an adviser or ambassador to entities such as “Seborga” or “Westarctica.” They also uncovered several doctored photographs showing Jain with world leaders, and fake seals of India’s foreign ministry and nearly three dozen countries, Ghule said. He is also being investigated for illegal money laundering through shell companies abroad, and facing charges of forgery, impersonation and possessing fake documents.
