We have test-coverage for this:

Are you sure the body JSON contains no errors? Have you tried doing it with another client (e.g.. CURL)

@pivyas I had the same issue with POSTMAN, so I looked at the headers and the 'Content-Type' was missing. Once you add the 'Content-Type: application/json' header to the request, it works just fine.

Hope this helps.
