I found g_traj which I can use with index file and calculate temperature for a particular group in my system but somehow it gives a wrong value (The average temperature (NVT simulation) is 240 K and g_traj outputs 120 K).

g_traj doesn't account for constraints, but the result can be calculated from 
what g_traj produces.  That's more complicated than you need, and will not be 
accurate over all MD steps.  All you need to do is extract the temperatures from 
the .edr file using g_energy and the average is printed to the screen.  This 
average is correct over all steps, since energy history is stored in the .edr 
file and is not limited to nst* output.
