1Look at how your device is mounted (mount command), sounds like it is in read-only. – SYN – 2017-03-28T19:20:00.987

It is read write mounted – AjaiVeer Singh Sandhu – 2017-03-28T20:27:30.637

Just had to install "ntfs-3g" package. Everything is working fine now.

Create a mount point:

mkdir /mnt/ntfs_mnt

Mount your partitions:

mount -t ntfs /dev/sdaX /mnt/ntfs_mnt 
cd /mnt/ntfs_mnt

Replace sdaX with your ntfs partition
