               "UpdatedOn":"22-NOV-17",
               "GroupID":"200"

Try this:

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(Result);
jsonObject
  .getJSONObject("MerchHierarchyEBM")
  .getJSONObject("DataArea")
  .getJSONObject("Division")
  .remove("Group");

Or if getJSONObject() doesn't work, replace it with getAsJsonObject().
