    if you are using linux then just find out the process id of the putty

    use ps -a to get PID of process then use kill PID

    on Windows:

    Open the command prompt as the current user or as Administrator.
Type tasklist to see the list of running processes and their PIDs. ...
To kill a process by its PID, type the command: taskkill /F /PID pid_number.
To kill a process by its name, type the command taskkill /IM "process name" /F.

    1. Identify processes

      ps -ef | grep -E ‘ssh.*pts’ | grep -v grep |awk -F” ” ‘{print $2}’

    The above script it will give you the PID of those ssh pst connections on your machine; then as Vikas said you can kill those processes, remember be aware by using the kill command.

    NOTE: you can use the last command where you can see a list of the current/olders session on your machine.

    1. Kill processes

      kill -9 PID1 PID2 PID3

    Kill old login wit command:

    pkill -o -u $USER sshd

    You can use ‘screen’ program for reconnect from where your connection was lost.

    If you want to kill all open terminals except for the current one, you can use

    kill $(pgrep bash)

    pgrep bash lists the pids of all the active terminals

    if the terminals refuse to die, you can use

    kill -9 $(pgrep bash)

    the “-9” is used to send the SIGKILL Signal to the process
