Sounds like a bad microSD card. Check the card, there are several free tools available.

I am able to flash and boot the Raspbian image fine on the same card. The write problem is only seen while writing libreELEC image. Any other suggestions from someone who faced similar issues.

Maybe, but that's still no check of the storage medium.

You can use free tools like "MiniTool Partition Wizard Free" to cleanup Your SD card and run a surface test on it.

That should show existing errors if there are some.

Or just try another spare SD card just to exclude that one...

Thanks. MiniTool cleanup didnt work. However I was able to flash on same SD card using Rufus tool.
