But this time, the QR code on it changed the whole story. The police scanned the code and it led them straight to the liquor shop from where it was purchased. They then checked the shop's CCTV footage, and that's where the case took a major turn.
What did the CCTV footage show? It clearly showed the victim, Lokendra, arriving at the shop with two other men, Mahesh and Dharamveer. This was the breakthrough clue. The police immediately took the men into custody and questioned them strictly. The truth that came out during the interrogation shocked everyone.

The investigation revealed that Lokendra's wife was having an affair with Mahesh. When Lokendra found out about their relationship, he opposed it and even told his family and neighbours. But the two continued to meet secretly. Finally, the wife and her lover decided to get Lokendra out of their way for good. Mahesh roped in his friend, Dharamveer, for the plan. They used the excuse of drinking together to lure Lokendra to a secluded field.
