My laptop prints weird key combination while in the terminal or while startup in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

My laptop has freshly installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS along side with Windows 10. This problem started happening when I upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 (I guess). But, then I formatted my ubuntu partition back to 18.04.

But, when I open terminal, I see the following key combination being typed automatically for infinite times:

^[[24~^[[24~^[[24~^[[24~^[[24~^[[24~^[[24~^[[24~^[[24~^[[24~^[[24~^[[24~^[[24~^[[24~

I have tested with external keyboard too, so i feel keyboard is not an issue. Also, this happens only in terminal, not in text editor or anywhere else.

I have no clue what it is. Please help

THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHILE BOOTING

Check your .bashrc file. You may have included something there that causes these characters. – vanadium Jul 11 '21 at 13:26
@guiverc Sorry for the confusion, I updated the title. It's Ubuntu 18.04 LTS – Abhi Jul 12 '21 at 06:43
If the problem persists, check this answer to restore your ~/.bashrc file to default - that might help. – Artur Meinild Jul 12 '21 at 08:10
@ArturMeinild I have freshly formatted my system. So, I believe bashrc won't be corrupt – Abhi Jul 12 '21 at 10:28
