I uninstalled Postgres by following this question.

Now when I type sudo service postgresql status, it gives the following result

postgresql.service
   Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
   Active: inactive (dead)

Jan 15 12:02:37 induP systemd[1]: Started PostgreSQL RDBMS.
Jan 15 16:58:50 induP systemd[1]: Stopped PostgreSQL RDBMS.
Jan 15 16:58:57 induP systemd[1]: Stopped PostgreSQL RDBMS.

What is the problem?

You probably did not stop progress before you removed it.

Find the process using ps -ef | grep postgres to confirm it is still running. Then kill it with kill -9 {process_id} or pkill -9 postgres.

  • I ran pkill -9 postgres, but ps -ef | grep postgres still gives result as indu 15184 8653 0 18:01 pts/2 00:00:00 grep --color=auto --exclude-dir=.bzr --exclude-dir=CVS --exclude-dir=.git --exclude-dir=.hg --exclude-dir=.svn postgres – Indu Pillai Jan 15 '17 at 13:02
  • put it into the question and line out the lines :) That one line could be the result showing the grep itself and be harmless. – Rinzwind Jan 15 '17 at 13:18
