All you had to do is change the policies in "PolicyKit Authorization System". It's kind of a new staff in GNU/Linux world and provides better security solution. It extends the concepts of "file permissions" and "sudo". Instead of restricting permission to a file, it restricts permission to certain administrative tasks like in my case - permission to mount a filesystem from internal drive partition.
Enough talk, here is the quick fix I got -
(1) Goto 'K Menu' --> 'System Settings'.
(2) Select the 'Advanced' tab.
(3) Goto the 'PolicyKit Authorization' grouped under 'system'.
(4) Select the policy - 'mount filesystems from internal drives'.
(5) Now you can either set 'Implicit Authorizations' to anyone or you can set 'Explicit authorizations' to yourself by pressing the 'grant' button.
Here's a screenshot to help you -
