Ok got this to work with some help from web.

run this command xmodmap -pm.
You should get the output with some mod1 mod2 mod3. Here mod3 should be empty with no value set.

To set the value create the file Xmodmap in /etc/X11/.

sudo vi /etc/X11/Xmodmap

Add this line in the file

add mod3 = Scroll_Lock

Logout and log in again.

Remember to keep the case of the file name.
