Sounds like typical low battery behavior to me. After you charged it for 20 minutes, did the battery indicator show a higher charge level than it did before?

1. While side loading it got hung - Tried force boot but orange light blinks 4-5 times & then nothing.

Sounds like really dead battery behavior.

It shows as orange while charging , kept it for two days on charge still noting. I suspect battery
|
Or a charger problem. You said it showed orange while charging. Did it ever turn green? (that indicates charging has completed)

2. Also when side loading I deleted few books from document folder - what are the chances I deleted some system file & Kindle Bricked.
|
The chances are about zero, if you were in the document folder.

Now for battery I have teardown the kindle & removed the battery & performed the surgery to retain the battery controller

You are committed now. I hope the battery replacement works. If it doesn't, you will probably never know if the final cause of death was the original problem, or a new problem caused by the surgery. I would have tried a different charger and different cable before hitting it with the scalpel myself.
Good luck! I have no experience with battery replacement to offer any help in that department.
