False Embassy in Ghaziabad Busted, Harshvardhan Jain was arrested, Hawala Racket was underway in the name of fictional countries

The Noida Unit of Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (UP STF) brought a false embassy gang into the Kavinagar area in Ghaziabad, which made a startling disclosure. In this operation, a person named Harshvardhan Jain was arrested, who deceived people by calling himself a messenger of fictional countries and also running illegal Hawala business. What is the whole thing? The UP STF received secret information that there were some suspicious activities in the Kavinagar area in Ghaziabad and allegedly operated a foreign embassy. During the attack, STF found a network where false embassies were created in the name of fictional countries such as Western Arctic, Saborga, Paulvia and Lodonia. Harshvardhan Jain described himself as the Consul General/Ambassador of these countries and uses foreign flags, names, false passports, letterheads, stamps and documents to give this network a real embassy. During the announcement of the Hawala business, STF also learned that Harshvardhan Jain had begun fraud in the name of illegal Hawala transactions and foreign investment under the guise of these false embassies. Initial inquiry found evidence of transactions worth lakhs of rupees. According to STF, the network was involved in serious cases such as fraud, forgery and money laundering. Inquiries from the arrested accused, Harshvardhan Jain, were held immediately by STF and a case was registered in various divisions against him, including Articles 420, 467, 471 of the Indian Criminal Act. The addition of serious streams such as Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) and UAPA is also considered. UP STF officials say: “It is not only a case of fraud, but it is also a serious matter associated with national security. Where the contacts of the accused are distributed, it is being investigated.” According to experts, the abuse of international names, the countries whose names were used by Harshvardhan Jain, either micronations or united and invalid regional institutions. In his name, money is charged in the name of the deception of the general public, citizenship, investment and placement. The closure of the STF made it clear to what extent criminals can spread a net of fraud, and the ordinary people can be involved in the pretext of attractive positions and strange names. The case may not only be a sign of arrest of one person, but also a sign of a possible international fraud network spread throughout the country. Police are now trying to find out how many people have been affected by this forgery and whether the wires of this network are connected outside the country.
