I just downgraded it and when I updated it to official android N the phone just got bricked, it is giving no response to the keys, when I keep it on charging the led on the right of the FP sensor blinks. Is there anyway to on it?

What stock ROM did you have prior to flashing RR, and what update did you attempt to apply?

2 things to try:
1)Try holding the power button down for 2-3 minutes, this can force a hard reboot which might get your device to run.
2)If that doesn't work, plug your device into your computer, does it register as 'Moto G4' or as 'Qualcomm HS-USB Bulk 9008' or similar?
If the 2nd, you may wish to look into using a blank-flash (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71405834&postcount=23), however this blank-flash only appears to work if you were on the March 2017 stock firmware or lower, the June 2017 firmware will not accept the blank-flash.

Firstly I was on the june security patch update then I moved to RR, when flashed MM and updated then it got bricked.
I have tried all the methods to boot it into bootloader but all went in veins..

Ah, so you were on the June update previously? Unfortunately, the blank flash we've got doesn't work and sadly you're not the only one, we've got many reports now of devices updating to the June 2017 update and then bricking from downgrading, or somehow downgraded and then bricked when flashing an OTA.

Currently, the only resolutions appear to be sending your device for repair at a service centre (and you may have to pay for the repair), or save up funds for a new device :(
