can not stop docker container , permission denied error – Ubuntu

I have a docker file like this which runs a hello-world FastAPI app.

FROM python:3.10.9-alpine3.16
RUN adduser -D app
USER app
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

COPY . .
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirement.txt

CMD [ "python", "./main.py" ]

I am running docker build and docker run command as :

docker build mytag/fastapi_web_app:latest .
docker run -p 8080:8080 mytag/fastapi_web_app:latest

and app works fine , but docker stop does not work on it,
whenever i try docker stop i get permission denied error, I even added my user to a new docker group as well , even if i repeat above step as a root user it does not work.
I am running Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS a a virtual machine on windows.

I had to sh into the machine using docker exec command and then kill the process to stop the docker container , but this is not the right solution.
I should be able to stop docker container using docker stop command, even docker compose down does not work.

when I run docker stop this is the error I get:

Error response from daemon: Cannot kill container: <id>: permission denied

What am I missing here?

P.S. : Do not ask me to kill apparmor , i have other processes dependent on it and its just a workaround not a solution
