Ajay Dev's lengthy sentence for sexual assault was overturned by Judge Janene Beronio, who found strong evidence indicating that his adopted daughter, Sapna Dev, had fabricated accusations against him. Originally sentenced for 76 convictions, Dev spent 16 years in prison. Testimonies from four witnesses revealed that Sapna expressed her intent to deceive through these allegations as a way to secure her status in the U.S. The District Attorney has the option to retry Dev or appeal the ruling, raising concerns about the initial trial's integrity.
Four witnesses testified at a hearing that Sapna Dev had informed them her accusations against Ajay Dev were fabrications motivated by personal grievances.
The judge's ruling reflects an in-depth examination of evidence that had been previously overlooked during the original trial, raising questions about the integrity of the convictions.
