Check for the browser version and Chromedriver.exe version compatibility. If your browser is autoupdated then use the relavant chromedriver.

Found out the solution. This error was occurring due to anti-virus software. The anti-virus software was treating the chrome driver as a threat. So when I stopped anti-virus software, the code worked fine.
