The service was not gracefully stopped the last time it was running and left the master lock behind. The FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/17891756> describes how locks are implemented in Mailman 2.1, but Mailman 3 is similar.
There is a var/locks/ directory in your Mailman hierarchy. In it you will see two files. in MM 2.1, they would be named master-qrunner and master-qrunner.hostname.pid. In MM 3 they will be similar. Assuming there is no process with PID = pid running on hostname, you can safely remove those files.

@ Abhilash Raj - Thanks for your swift reply. It worked. I terminated it wrongly last time I suppose.
@ Mark Sapiro - Yes, there was a stale lock file not associated with any process. Removed it. And I'll go through the FAQ. Thanks!
