The IT department sent a notice to the PWC through an attorney to cancel the contract after Dream was arrested in a gold smuggling case and the degree presented for the appointment was found to be fake. The notice stated that the contract was breached by sending a person with a criminal background and forged educational qualifications to the government system. The notice sought compensation for breach of contract.
KSITIL has stated that it is up to the government to decide whether to exclude PWC from the K Phone scheme in the wake of the controversy over the appointment of Swapna Suresh.
