Worried About Job Offer After Old Traffic Violation Surfaces in Background Check?

I received a job offer from a reputed IT company after completing my MBA. During the background verification application, there was a section to declare any pending or closed criminal or civil cases or charges. Since there were no such cases against me, I indicated "No."

BCG HR informed me via email that they had discovered a court case associated with my name. It was only upon receiving the case link that I recollected it was a traffic rule violation from 2015, where I was charged with IPC 279. I had no prior knowledge of this incident as my parents had dealt with the police and paid the fine on my behalf.

I am now concerned about the status of my job offer. Will I still be considered for the position, or will my application be rejected?

Have you got the job? Were there any problems with your joining due to this?

The question now is not the nature of the offense (rash and negligent driving) but the willful suppression of facts related to a criminal case. The nature of the offense is not serious enough to debar employment. The explanation that you had forgotten about it and remembered only when this was pointed out is not a credible explanation. It would depend on the reputed IT company on whether they are ready to overlook this factor.
