Hi sreekarthikeyank ,

currently, InDesign CC 2019, you could fake this with Paragraph Shading. Not with Paragraph Rules.

Key feature of paragraph shading: Crop at frame edges.

From my German InDesign:

Downside of this trick:

If you change the width of the columns you have to start over calculating start and stop, means: left and right offset.

FWIW: The script InGutter by Marc Autret should work as well:

this has been solved. InDesign now has this feature in Text Frame Options and it's called Column Rules.  I'm using version 15.0.1 on a PC.
