ANTF’s Operation ‘Color Photo’ led to the arrest of Sandeep Raj Sharma, a year‑long fugitive with a Rs 25,000 bounty, after he opened fire on police in Jaipur.
Operation “Color Photo”, conducted by the Anti‑Narcotics Task Force (ANTF), resulted in the capture of Sandeep Raj Sharma in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Sharma had been on the run for about a year after allegedly firing at police officers during a prior encounter.
