Answer to your query depends on your contract with the company. Normally you are not allowed to do the same business outside the company which your company is also doing but to terminate the service they must follow the procedure. There has to be some inquiry after which they are supposed to serve a show cause notice. Abrupt termination without following the procedure is illegal.

In order to get an answer to that question the agreement that you signed with the company you worked with at the time of joining will have to be looked into. It is most likely that it will contain a clause prohibiting you from indulging in your own business in the same line in the form of a non compete clause. Had your business been in different line from the company it might not have been an issue but no company would allow you to do what you were doing.
