Fake embassy of fictional nations busted in Ghaziabad; Luxury cars, diplomatic gear seized
Ghaziabad: In a startling revelation, the Noida Special Task Force (STF) on Wednesday said that it uncovered a fake embassy being operated out of a rented bungalow in Ghaziabad's Kavi Nagar area of Uttar Pradesh. Parked outside the premises were several high-end vehicles fitted with fake diplomatic number plates, which were used to lend an air of legitimacy to the illegal setup. The alleged kingpin behind the operation, Harsh Vardhan Jain, was arrested at the spot, officials confirmed. As per preliminary findings, Jain had converted the bungalow into a so-called 'embassy' for imaginary or self-declared micronations. He also falsely claimed to represent other such fictional entities, including West Arctica, Saborga, Poulvia, and Lodonia. Authorities revealed that Jain posed as an ambassador of these so-called nations and used a range of tactics to deceive people. He used fake diplomatic number plates and other forged documents to build a show of authenticity. According to officers, his operation involved extensive use of deception, including the display of luxury cars and morphed photographs with global dignitaries such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi, former President Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, and some international leaders. These doctored images were reportedly used to influence unsuspecting individuals and project himself as a powerful global figure. The pictures seized from the spot also reveal Jain's possible ties with international arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi and controversial self-styled godman Chandraswami. Acting on intelligence received from central agencies, STF personnel conducted a raid on July 22 and apprehended Jain from the premises. The investigation has since revealed that Jain's scam was not limited to his fake diplomatic identity. His racket involved conning individuals and companies by promising assistance in overseas business ventures and employment opportunities abroad. Authorities also suspect he operated a hawala network through shell companies to further his illegal dealings. Officials noted that a satellite phone was recovered from Jain back in 2011. During the latest raid, a large cache of forged diplomatic materials was seized. This included four luxury vehicles bearing fake diplomatic plates, 12 counterfeit diplomatic passports linked to fictitious micronations, two fake PAN cards, forged documents with the seals of the Ministry of External Affairs, and 34 counterfeit seals purportedly from various countries and corporate entities. Additionally, officers found two fake press cards, a staggering Rs 44.7 lakh in cash, foreign currency from multiple nations, and 18 more fabricated diplomatic number plates. A new FIR has been registered at the Kavi Nagar police station, and further legal proceedings are underway. Authorities believe that more individuals could be involved in the scam. Investigations are underway.

Tanushree Dutta alleges harassment at home, asks for help
New Delhi, Jul 23 (PTI) Actor Tanushree Dutta, whose complaint against actor Nana Patekar started the #MeToo movement in India, has put out an emotional social media post alleging that she has been harassed in her home for seven years and calling for someone to help her 'before it's too late". In a series of posts on Instagram on Tuesday night, the actor said she has been harassed so much that she has fallen sick. Dutta, who alleged that the harassment has been 'going on since 2018 #metoo", said she had to call the cops and they have asked her to register a 'proper complaint". 'Please someone help me! Do something before it's too late," a crying Dutta captioned her video on her Instagram. 'Guys, I am being harassed in my own home. I am being troubled in my own house. I just called the cops and they have asked me to come to the police station to lodge a proper complaint… I will probably go tomorrow or day after," the distressed actor said. Declaring that she was unwell and been unable to work, Dutta said her house is messy and she can't hire maids. 'I have had terrible experience with maids who come in and steal and do other things. People bang the door of my house. I am being troubled, please help me," Dutta said in the video without naming any one. The actor, 41, known for her role in movies 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne", 'Chocolate" and 'Dhol", said she has dealt with loud noises and 'other very very loud banging noises above her roof and outside her door almost every day at odd hours since 2020!" 'I got tired of complaining to the building management and gave up a few years ago. Now I just live with it and put headphones with Hindu mantras to distract my mind and keep my sanity," the actor said. In 2018, the actor had accused Patekar and three others of harassing and misbehaving with her in 2008 when she was shooting a song on the sets of the film 'Horn Ok Pleasss". After she came out with her allegation, a number of women came forward with their stories of harassment and sexual abuse with many naming and shaming their alleged abusers.

Setback For Gensol: NCLT Admits IREDA Insolvency Plea Over Rs 510 Cr Default
Last Updated: The NCLT Ahmedabad admitted IREDA's plea for insolvency against Gensol Engineering Ltd over Rs 510.10 crore loan default. SEBI barred Gensol's promoters for fund misuse. In a setback for Gensol Engineering Limited, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Ahmedabad Bench has admitted a plea by Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Ltd (IREDA) to initiate insolvency proceedings under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016. IREDA, a public sector NBFC under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, alleged that Gensol defaulted on loan repayments worth Rs 510.10 crore across five sanctioned financial facilities, including electric vehicle leasing and solar power projects. The loans were disbursed between March 2022 and May 2024. According to the shared court order copy, the tribunal said that Gensol had failed to maintain financial discipline, citing defaults on 31 March, 19 April, and 12 May 2025. IREDA in the filing said that it filed an application on May 14 under Section 7 of Insolvency and Bankruptcy code, 2016 against Gensol Engineering Limited for a defaulted amount of Rs 510,00,52,672. IREDA admitted supporting evidence including ledger extracts, bank statements, and filings with NeSL (National E-Governance Services Ltd), as well as invoking personal guarantees of the company's promoters. The tribunal also directed IREDA to deposit Rs 20 lakh towards CIRP costs and instructed all concerned authorities, including the Registrar of Companies and IBBI, to be notified of the order. Gensol Engineering shares hit the 5% lower circuit to halt trading at Rs 48.72 apiece today, July 23. Gensol Fund Saga Sebi had barred the Gensol Engineering's promoters, Anmol Singh Jaggi and Puneet Singh Jaggi, from the securities market due to allegations of misusing public company funds for personal gain. The promoters are accused of siphoning off loan funds meant for the company, misleading investors, lenders, and regulators. The interim order not only restricts them from accessing capital markets but also prevents them from holding key positions in any listed company for the time being. It is the alleged misuse of nearly Rs 262 crore from the Rs 978 crore loaned to Gensol by the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) and Power Finance Corporation (PFC). The funds were intended for acquiring 6,400 EVs for leasing to BluSmart, but only 4,704 vehicles were purchased. Sebi's findings suggest that a portion of the funds was redirected to personal luxuries, such as high-end real estate, foreign travel, golf equipment, and other personal expenses. Since the unfolding of the Gensol Fund saga, shares of the company plummeted up to 93 per cent. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
