Yeah. TCC stands for "Transparency, Consent, and Control", and you can see Ivan Krstic, the guy who heads Security Engineering and Architecture at Apple, talking about it in this video at Apple's World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) in 2016.
So, it's been around for at least that long, and is part of the system. There have been exploits that attacked TCC, since it is one of the system components that "controls" what things an app can do, but you don't want to remove or break the actual system component.

You can try the free version of Avast and run a full scan of your drive (can take an hour or so)
I know a lot of people don't like Avast but it's good at finding hidden-away malware and remove it. You could always remove it after it's done it's job. Personally I leave it installed on my Mac; just my choice.

There should be no /Library/Applications folder.
/Library/Application Support/com.apple.TCC is normal. Leave it alone.
Do not do anything, install anything, or use anything in a misguided effort to delete it.
I tried deleting it but there is no move to trash option.
/Library/Application Support/com.apple.TCC is normal. Leave it alone.
Are you sure? com.apple.TCC is reported all over the place as being malware / unwanted.
Not just Google!
Bing:
Yahoo:
DuckDuckGo:
..but if Apple say it's OK, I'm happy to trust them :-)
I already tried scanning it using Malwarebytes. Nothing was found. Other ways to remove it?
Can you manually drag it to the trash?
No. Nothing happened when I drag it. Also tried deleting it in safe mode. It does not delete also.

Stop using Google.
Went to nearest power mac. Staff told me it is part of new os. Also saw the folder in their display unit.
Havent experience any pop ups, redirections etc. Also looked the launcher agents and daemons folder and did not see any malicious files.

It is not new. It has been part of macOS for a very long time.
