I have a string(var) that I parse as JSON in javascript. But as soon as I do that I get an error stating

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token c in JSON at position 13

var DL_response = {"result":"{"cov_details":[{"issue_date":"UNIT 
 OFFICE,NEYVELI","cov":"MCWG"}],"dl_number":"TN39Y20100000784","address":"PERIYA COLONY  KO PAVAZHANGUDI  
 VIRUDHACHALAM TK","issue_date":"24-03-2020","dob":"21-03-1971","name":"VICNESWARAN 
 S","blood_group":"","validity":{"transport":"","non-transport":"24-03-2010 to 23-03- 
 2030"},"father_husband":"SELVARAJ"}","status-code":"101","request_id":"a9642ae9-2f10-4e9a-9f7e- 
 c3ee1a9a2dbe"}
var Driving_License = JSON.parse(DL_response);

What might be causing this error? Is it because of any special characters?

First of all, your JSON is invalid. And second of all, it's not a JSON string but a JavaScript Object itself. There is no need to parse it again. If the object was valid, you could access it directly without further parsing.

Here is the data I've fixed.

var DL_response = {
   "result":{
      "cov_details":[
         {
            "issue_date":"UNIT OFFICE,NEYVELI",
            "cov":"MCWG"
         }
      ],
      "dl_number":"TN39Y20100000784",
      "address":"PERIYA COLONY KO PAVAZHANGUDI  VIRUDHACHALAM TK",
      "issue_date":"24-03-2020",
      "dob":"21-03-1971",
      "name":"VICNESWARANS",
      "blood_group":"",
      "validity":{
         "transport":"",
         "non-transport":"24-03-2010 to 23-03-2030"
      },
      "father_husband":"SELVARAJ",
      "status-code":"101",
      "request_id":"a9642ae9-2f10-4e9a-9f7e-c3ee1a9a2dbe"
   }
}

console.log(DL_response.result.dob)
// output: 21-03-1971
