Hi Jayakrishnan  - 

A bit late, but it appears that this error is typically caused by syntax issues. I'd recommend taking a look at the following community post: Odd error while creating issue from REST. You may also want to look into using a JSON Builder like https://jsoneditoronline.org/ to help craft the JSON. 

Hope it helps!

If you checked the JSON blob posted by OP, you'd see it's valid JSON, so a syntax issue should not be the case.
