The company is terminating both the employees A&B for doing business with person C and favoring person B wife. Is that fair?

Dear member,
Your post provides details of commercial activities by the employees beyond their normal duties, you have not mentioned whether those activities created a conflict of interest. If the commercial activities had no bearing whatsoever on the business of the company, then I don't think that the company would have terminated employees A and B.
You have written: The company states Person A and Person B are running a parallel business considering the gmail communication and WhatsApp chat of A&B or A&C.
But how could the company authorities or auditors access Gmail communication or WhatsApp chat among A, B and C? Such activities are done surreptitiously and utmost care is taken to avoid blowing up these matters.
Before terminating the services, did the company conduct a domestic enquiry? Were the employees given a chance to defend their case? Did the company suffer losses due to clandestine commercial activities by A and B? If yes, did the enquiry officer acquire incontrovertible evidence?
There are many questions associated with your post. Please clarify.
Thanks,
