I manually deleted the ingest-geoip folder from the plugin directory and reinstalled the plugin and it worked but not sure why the command failed via CLI

It’s a bug. I am terribly sorry that you ran into this and we will have a release available with a fix ASAP.

We shipped Elasticsearch 6.2.1 today with a fix for this issue.
