Looks like some species of Pleasing fungus beetle (Family Erotylidae). Based on the pattern, some of the matching genera are : Episcapha, Megalodacne and Mimodacne etc.
Nearest matches got through Google image search :
Episcapha quadrimacula - https://www.biolib.cz/en/taxon/id957917/... and https://www.flickr.com/photos/nickadel/2...
Megalodacne fasciata - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaloda...
Megalodacne heros - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaloda...
It's okay! I'm fine with it. I will update the ID with E.quadrimacula. Thank you for the ID suggestion! :)
m.prasad.369 if you're not sure about the species I suggested, then maybe wait until an expert takes a look at it. I've been wrong before about species as well as genus, but for me it's remarkable similar to E. quadrimacula.
thewndrr, Thank you for the comment! :) Even Megalodacne has Asian species. Google image search, based on pattern, brings up genera - Episcapha, Megalodacne and Mimodacne. Above species list is given as an example but not full list; sorry for the confusion. I updated Notes accordingly. BTW, if you are sure that this is E.quadrimacula, we will go with it. Thanks
Episcapha quadrimacula is most likely the right one due to the fact that the Megalodacne fasciata and Megalodacne heros is both in America.
