 Where is this work published (in a serious journal)?

 Why bother about journals? Why not look at what has been done?

 Nothing has been done until it has generated some peer approval,
or at least a tiny bit of peer interest,

 Right. Let us suppose (a huge supposition, and almost certainly false)
that Arindam's inertia violation turns out to be correct. Will he get
credit for it? No, the discovery will be attributed in the textbooks to
the scientist who described and discussed it in a serious journal. The
best he can hope for is a footnote saying "Banerjee claimed some years
earlier in popular science sources that inertia violation could occur,
but he provided no verifiable evidence of the claim." I'm reminded of
Marie Mikhailovna Manasseïn: few people today have heard of her, and of
those few virtually none accept her claim to have discovered cell-free
fermentation 15 or so years before Eduard Buchner. OK, her results were
published in a serious journal (Ber. dt. Chem. Ges. (1872)), but her
experiments were unverifiable, and were very badly designed.

 Yes, and Bucher even got a Nobel prize for it.

I had forgotten that Maria Manaseina had a Wikiparticle, and I was surprised to see that I had edited it in March 2021, removing an irrelevant reference inserted by someone determined to insert references to himself in as many pages as possible.
Maybe Arindam could pay someone (not allowed, but not easy to recognize) to write a Wikiparticle about himself. It's the closest he'll ever get to fame.
