You probably have a better chance of finding the attention of people who 
know about the details either on the Python Discuss board 
(discuss.python.org), or by filing an issue - after first checking 
someone else isn't wrestling with the same problem you are - there are a 
number of uninstall-related issues open 
(https://github.com/python/cpython/issues)

In particular, I see that this part of your issue:

 > I have observed that uninstallation is working only with the 
account/login using which the python version is installed

seems to be a known problem, where the user who initiated the install 
has the uninstall registered to their account - see 
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/69353
