Sep 4, 2018 at 13:13 comment added Dave Tweed By adding an opamp and putting the diode in the feedback loop as shown in my original link above, you eliminate the drawbacks of the simple diode-capacitor setup. Be sure to use an opamp with rail-to-rail inputs and outputs if you're trying to operate from a single supply.
Sep 3, 2018 at 13:33 comment added Sajeev Pillai Hi @Dave. As per your recommendation, i tried implementing a peak detector in place of R9. After reading the link and some more reading off the internet, i used a diode and a capacitor in place of R9. It seems i have used a very primitive detector circuit and the results are not satisfying. Do you have any suggestions ? Could you post an image or something as suggestion. I am having a bit of a hard time trying to constituting an op amp based peak detector in the feedback loop. Thank you very much :)
