Problem converting PNG to JPG using Java (ImageIO.write())

Question

I am using ImageIO.write() to convert PNG files to JPG. For some reason, my result image has a pink layer over it. I have searched far and wide for a solution but haven't found any. The code works for all other types of images except PNG.

The root cause can be a buggy reader. The proposed workaround is using different reader package.
