Can you run other commands in the Lens terminal? Can you run `which kubectl` and then try to run that `kubectl` from a system terminal?

Does kubectl work without error outside of Lens (in a system terminal?)

Just to be clear, outside of Lens running `/Users/deepakjaiswal/Library/Application Support/Lens/binaries/kubectl/1.24.15/kubectl` works fine? If not try deleting the folder `/Users/deepakjaiswal/Library/Application Support/Lens/binaries/kubectl/1.24.15` and try in Lens again (restart Lens first)

Otherwise, does this happen for all clusters?  
You say zsh is killed but from your output it appears zsh killed kubectl. Is the Lens zsh terminal no longer accepting commands after this?
