Hi abhi_123,
Your data is not consistent. It has spaces and tabs mixed in. ^I is how I told the cat utility to show tabs.

Code:
cat -t abhi_123.example

Code:

Therefore you can not rely on positions how you have be proposing from the beginning of the thread.

Counting on this uncertainty, the following two options might or might not do what you want.
Code:
perl -pe '/ABC/ and s/CO:B\w+$//' abhi_123.example

or
Code:
perl -pe 's/(ABC.*?)CO:B\w+$/$1/' abhi_123.example
