The directive specifically targets suspicious check-in patterns, such as instances where a couple registers but only one person departs. Recent cases include the discovery of a 27-year-old medical student's body in a Miyapur hotel and a 34-year-old executive found dead in an SR Nagar room. Police are currently searching for suspects in these incidents.
