I did above solutions using Alamofire 5.0 and below is my complete solutions so that it can help someone:

// Create a Modal Class of name "Event"

class Event {
    var name: String?
    var date: String?
    var time: String?
    var amOrPm: String?
    var day: String?
    var description: String?



init(dic: [String: Any]) {
    if let name = dic["name"] as? String {
        self.name = name
    }
    if let date = dic["date"] as? String {
        self.date = date
    }
    if let time = dic["time"] as? String {
        self.time = time
    }
    if let amOrPm = dic["am_or_pm"] as? String {
        self.amOrPm = amOrPm
    }
    if let day = dic["day"] as? String {
        self.day = day
    }
    if let description = dic["description"] as? String {
        self.description = description
    }
    }
}

// Creating a Global Class for URL

import Alamofire

class HttpManager {
    struct Constants {
        static let baseUrl = "https://my-json-server.typicode.com/JCkshone/jsonTest"
    }

    func getEvents(handledResponse: @escaping (_ data: [[String: Any]])->()) {
        let request = AF.request("\(Constants.baseUrl)/db")

        request.responseJSON { (response: AFDataResponse) in
            guard let data = response.value as? [String: Any] else { return }
            if let events: [[String: Any]] = data["events"] as? [[String: Any]] {
                handledResponse(events)
            }
        }
    }
}

// Finally ViewController.swift

struct SectionEvent {
    var sectionName: String
    var evenst: [Event]
}

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    @IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
    let http  = HttpManager()
    var events: [Event] = []
    var tableViewData: [SectionEvent] = []
    let cell = "cellId"

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        fetchData()
        initTableView()
    }

    func fetchData() {
        http.getEvents { (data: [[String : Any]]) in
            data.forEach { item in
                self.events.append(Event(dic: item))
            }
            self.buildData()
        }
    }

    func buildData() {
        events.forEach { event in

        let validation = validateEventExist(event: event)
        if !validation.exist {
            tableViewData.append(SectionEvent(sectionName: event.date ?? "", evenst: [event]))
        } else {
            tableViewData[validation.position].evenst.append(event)
        }
    }
    self.tableView.reloadData()
}

func validateEventExist(event: Event) -> (exist: Bool, position: Int) {
    let filterData = tableViewData.filter {$0.sectionName == event.date}
    let index = tableViewData.firstIndex { $0.sectionName == event.date}
    return (filterData.count > 0, index ?? 0)
}

    func initTableView() {
        tableView.register(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: cell)
        tableView.tableHeaderView = UIView()
    }
}

extension ViewController: UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {


func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {
    tableViewData[section].sectionName
}

func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
    tableViewData.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    tableViewData[section].evenst.count
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cellId", for: indexPath)
    if let name = tableViewData[indexPath.section].evenst[indexPath.row].name, let description = tableViewData[indexPath.section].evenst[indexPath.row].description {
        cell.textLabel?.text = "\(name) \n\(description)"
        cell.textLabel?.numberOfLines = 0
    }

    return cell
   }
}
