Very compelling deviations in the recently observed lepton nonuniversality observables of semileptonic B meson decays from their Standard Model predictions hint towards the presence of some kind of new physics beyond it. In this regard, we investigate the effect of new physics in the semileptonic
decay processes, where

processes. We find that the branching ratios of these decay modes are sizeable and deviate significantly (for vector-type couplings) from their corresponding standard model values, which are expected to be within the reach of Run III of Large Hadron Collider experiment.
