Ambedkar, with her father Uttam Khobragade in Mumbai, India. On Wednesday, March 12, 2014, Devyani Khobragade, the deputy consul general for India in New York whose arrest and strip search spurred an international flap, had charges against her dismissed by a federal judge. The judge's ruling said she had diplomatic immunity when she was indicted on charges of fraudulently obtaining a work visa for her housekeeper and lying about the maid's pay. But the ruling leaves open the possibility prosecutors could bring a new indictment against her. (AP Photo/Rajanish Kakade)
