Nikon D5100 Distorted Pictures Green and Pink Color

There were green and pink patches on the photographs taken using my three months old Nikon D5100 DSLR. If I would click 10 photographs the problem occurred in 2 or more photographs.

I googled the below text phrases to know more about the problem and eventually to solve it by any means

Searches turned out to be useless, the same problem was never reported or discussed earlier. Then, I contacted the Nikon Technical Support online; raised a service ticket explaining the problem. I got the below reply for the ticket.

Immediately I bought a new SD card (Nikon approved card as mentioned in manual) and took couple of shots. But the problem still showed up :(

I had no hope and no clue about the problem. After couple of days I took my camera to the Nikon authorized service center.

After 3 days I collected the camera and they have replaced the Camera SENSOR. The charge was Rs 1x,xxx. But since the camera was covered under 2 years standard warranty I repaired the camera without any expense.
