In a shocking incident near Agra, Uttar Pradesh, the murder of Lokendra was solved within 24 hours thanks to a QR code found on an empty liquor bottle at the crime scene. Lokendra’s body was discovered partially burnt beside a road after he had been missing since April 1. Investigators scanned the QR code, which traced the bottle back to a specific shop, allowing them to access CCTV footage that showed Lokendra with two men, Mahesh and Dharamveer. Upon interrogation, Mahesh confessed to having an affair with Lokendra's wife, which led to a conspiracy to murder him. The two men allegedly invited Lokendra for drinks and strangled him in a secluded area before attempting to destroy evidence by burning his body. The police arrested all three individuals involved shortly after gathering evidence, including confessions and surveillance footage.
