In March 2006, some leading IT services companies in India such as Wipro Technologies (Wipro) and IBM India dismissed several employees, when they discovered that the information provided in the employees' Curriculum Vitaes (CVs) was false.
The companies also blamed some of the recruitment agencies which had recruited the dismissed employees, for helping them fake their CV's. Police complaints were lodged against some of these recruitment agencies, and they were even asked to refund the expenditure incurred by the companies in hiring the dismissed employees.
