We perform an analysis of the consequences of various new physics operators on the lepton flavor violating (LFV) decay modes mediated through transitions. We scrutinize the imprints of the (pseudo)scalar and axial (vector) operators on the exclusive LFV decay channels and , where represent μ or τ. The new physics parameters are constrained by using the upper limits of the branching fractions of the and processes, assuming the new physics couplings to be real. We then explore the key observables such as the branching fractions, the forward-backward asymmetries, and the longitudinal polarization fractions of the decays. In addition, we also investigate the impact of the new physics couplings on the baryonic decay channels mediated by the quark level transition. With the experimental prospects at LHCb upgrade and Belle II, we also predict the upper limits of the above-discussed observables, which could intrigue the new physics search in these channels.
