I have absconded from a private organization in 2017. My Last Working Day (LWD) there was 28 Jan 2016, but due to my absence from duty, they released my relieving letter with a 27 Feb 2016 date. Meanwhile, I joined another organization on 2 Feb 2016. After that, I worked with two other organizations, and everything was working fine.
Recently, I switched to a new organization, and their Background Verification (BGV) came back negative due to an overlap of employment in UAN. Now, they are terminating me on that ground.
I have another offer as well, but the same scenario arises. This means my career is at risk. Yes, what I did was wrong. I was just an intern at that time. Every person, even a criminal, deserves a second chance. I have skills and capabilities, which is why I have had a great career in IT. But due to this issue, I'm not able to work with any organization.
I have already reached out to my last organization to correct my LWD, but they clearly said no.
What should I do? Is there any way?

Understanding the Consequences of Absconding
You may have the skills and capability, but your knowledge of what is right and wrong is questionable. When you have been dishonest or done something that is wrong, employers see red flags.
We have several posts every week here on CiteHR from people like you in the same position. Every time, we reply with a post telling people NOT to abscond from their employers, but people keep doing it. You may have the best reasons in the world for wanting to part company with your employer, but there is a process to do this—it is called resignation. Follow that process and leave in an orderly manner.
Importance of Due Diligence When Seeking a New Job
Finally, when you are seeking a new job, make sure you do your homework and ensure that EVERYTHING about the new employer is exactly what you are looking for. So many people have posted here telling us they took a new job and it was nothing like they expected and wanted to leave after a day or two. They had obviously not done their due diligence on the organization in question.
There are bad employers, just as there are good ones. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find the good employers—and that takes work.

Hi, You claim that your stint with the first company was as an intern. Normally, an internship will not be considered employment. Did you undergo training as part of your curriculum during the final year, or did you work as a trainee after completing your degree? I assume it should be a training period.
Though you absconded starting from January 29, 2016, the company might have followed a disciplinary process and closed your file on February 27, 2016, which is a process most companies follow. You need to request your first employer to change your last working day (date).
Alternatively, if there was no PF deducted, then you may remove that experience from your resume so that you can present your second employment as your first employment. While doing so, you need to consider your designation and salary at the time of joining the second company as well.
