How our team’s in-the-field investigation uncovered critical information that turned a company’s valuation on its head.
UNVEILING THE TRUTH
An investigative probe revealed that the “facts” in a documentary were in fact – fiction!
Our client was wrongly implicated in a publicly aired documentary by a global news channel of great repute. The documentary claimed that our client was using child labour in their India operations. All our client could share was a single passport size photograph of three children. There were no other details. Our client needed us to identify the children and investigate whether there was any truth to the allegations.
It took four months of a thorough on-the-ground investigation, spanning different cities in India, until the children in the photograph were traced. Our investigators discovered that there was no child labour and that the entire story had been fabricated by an unethical journalist.
The client shared our team’s investigative report with the news channel.
After conducting an independent review, the channel agreed that the client was correct and issued a public apology resulting in the client’s stellar reputation remaining intact.
