The below code solved my problem :)

    String selection = ContactsContract.RawContacts._ID+ "=?";
    String selectionargs[] = { String.valueOf(rawContactId) }; //Get rawContactId    

    int deletedRawContacts = context.getContentResolver().delete(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon()
                                .appendQueryParameter(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, ACCOUNT_NAME)
                                .appendQueryParameter(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, ACCOUNT_TYPE)
                                .appendQueryParameter(ContactsContract.CALLER_IS_SYNCADAPTER, "true").build(),
                                 selection,selectionargs);
    System.out.println("No. of contacts deleted are " + deletedRawContacts);
